Hi,

This bird is fairly common, but notoriously hard to photograph. It has a distinctive song you can always start to hear in spring and summer around Melbourne. This bush he is sitting on had been chewed on by kangaroos for years, not allowing it to grow out, but nevertheless it flowered in the most amazing purple colours :)

Beautiful image. Nice job on the exposure. Love that creamy background and an awesome perch.
