At the entrance to Manly Dam Park, a little White-browed Scrubwren examines the tarmac for tasty bits of seeds. I watched this bird for a while as it hopped about. One thing that struck me is how big the bird’s feet are! The little wren is also quite fluffy, and the white markings on its face aren’t as distinct as I’ve seen in other birds of this type. Perhaps it’s a juvenile, the season being spring and all.
