I've tried for the Apostlebird twice this year, no luck either time. Seems I was a few blocks off from its current location

Is this a known spot for this bird Ryu? The weird thing was, we were trying to photo the superb parrots and rainbow lorikeets and this guy flew down next to us and kept coming closer and closer, like he was almost tame! I had no idea, but my dad said it might be a "lousy jack" and then we googled it and it was!

There has been a single individual in Watson since September last year. It started off near the wetlands and clearly hasn't moved far.

Good to know Ryu, many thanks mate. I'll keep an eye out for him in the future as I go past this location all the time.
