Whenever I am at Royal Park Trin Warren Tam-boore, I expect to see the Bell Miners. The day (2 October 2024) this photograph was taken was no exception.

Bells Miners may not win any contest for the best looking bird but it has the most beautiful call that goes “tink”! Hence, the name. They have also been known as Bell Birds. This particular one landed close to me and let off a few calls as I took this photograph. This is definitely the most interesting photograph of this species I have taken so far. I wished it had landed on a more interesting perch. However, it is always the bird that decides if it wanted its photo taken.
