Isn’t this just the … ugliest … bird you have ever seen? I was enthralled by this friarbird finding himself a feed in a wattle tree on the edge of our camping spot by the Murray River. I only took about 450 photos this trip and I reckon 25% were of the friarbirds.
Thanks for looking! There will be more.

LOL. I wasn’t expecting the red eyes at all.

The whiskers on his beak make him look vulturish.

My first thought, too, Claudette. It’s that bald and ruffled neck feathers. I’m searching out the origin of it’s name – I’m guessing it is the bald pate. 🙂
