Woolworth’s car park, Mossman, Qld. You can already tell this is going to be an anticlimax. Lonchura punctulata, Scaly-breasted Munia, a plastic (twitcher term for an introduced species, pejorative). Bird number 365 in 2025, a bird for every day of the year.
The camera wasn’t handy and the setting was nowhere as pretty as this. Photo shamelessly filched from eBird, All credit to Ayuwat Jearwattanakanok for a very fine shot taken in Thailand where the bird belongs.
