Look like two of the Three Tenors! Going for broke.

Very good capture. Wonderful warblers

So they must be a pair? - different throat markings.

[P Plates]

Great capture - hope they were in tune

Yes they are a pair, female has the white throat. Cheers.

In tune, loud and rockin' the house.

What a sound to listen to! Great catch Mick. I was digging in the yard on Saturday and a Magpie Lark swooped down at my feet to hunt for grubs in the freshly turned dirt. He was so unperturbed being so close to me I had to gently nudge him away with my foot so I could keep digging! Absolutely no fear of me whatsoever and kept trying to get back into where I was digging. And me with no camera handy either I could not believe it, I've been close to them before but not like that. He has been watching me work in the yard for a month now, so I guess he's used to me and does not see me as any kind of threat.

I've sat down on the ground and had them walk right up to me Lloyd, well inside the 2m MFD of my bird lens. Not close enough to have to use my foot but I suppose they see gold when someone is digging up grubs for them.
