CommentThis was one of a pair of Western Bristlebirds that I used to see on most mornings just after sunrise moving along a vehicle track then darting into the grass to emerge with insects and other invertebrates. The metadata says this bird was about five metres from me and it moved closer to the point I couldn't focus any longer. I lay in the sand and let it and its mate pass. I would like comments on noise reduction and general improvements to the technical and aesthetic aspects.
