my first impression was that this large eyed bird had flown out of nearby hollow tree trunk, it was reluctant to move away so perhaps nesting - and gave me a good chance to observe but unfortunately a little too far to get a sharp image on my phone. About the size of a blackbird but the tail nearly as long as it's hunched body. impression of soft dark brown all over. I hadn't noticed back markings until photo enlarged. the bird kept an eye on me which further gave me the impression it was close to its nest.I think the tail silhouette is just a bit of a fluke of the way its perched.

While walking along the track this male lyrebird came out ahead excitedly with a prospective mate in the bushes (not visible). She made a brief appearance but saw me and shied away - me standing in the middle of the track didn't help.

An interesting experience - the pics tell the story. The damselfly was firmly attached to a leaf during blustery wind, being blown 180 degrees left and right. During lulls didn't
move or fly away. I thought it was dead and picked off the twig and leaf and brought it inside. Placed it on an open magazine and paper on my desk and took some photos as I thought it was a dead specimen. No movement at all. When I returned later I was surprised to find it wasn't there. Eventually found it among some books and very much alive. Put it in a container for the night and released it the next morning into full sun. Perhaps it had "played" dead!
