The magpie-robin was a good distance away and the equivalent 480mm on hand wasn’t enough to get this close. This is actually a 30 percent crop of the original capture.

Another familiar bird seen about the city though you're more likely to see (and hear) the bold black-and-white-feathered male singing boisterously.
