I found this Little Wattlebird out the back of a property we were staying at which overlooked dense woodlands. It explored 3 native trees, while calling out to its friend. It had a very distinct and fascinating rymthic "croak" call!

Little Wattlebird | Anthochaera chrysoptera
"Medium-large dark brown honeyeater with fine white streaking. Easily distinguished from Red Wattlebird by the lack of pink wattles below the eye and by the lack of a yellow lower belly. Found in southeastern Australia, this species typically inhabits scrub and dry coastal woodlands. Often found near flowering Banksia. It is typically very active and vocal with a rough, loud, squawking call." (eBird)
