Another seeking shade was a male Magpie-lark. But it looks as though he's coming to the end of the line, and considering what his next move will be.
A couple of shots later he was hot-footing it to the shrubs in the background (very wise!)
Sorry I was missing for so long, but I was away for the bulk of July, and busy towards the end of June in preparation. When I came home, my niece was with me to give me a hand with decluttering. We did well, but still more to do, so she'll be back next year I hope. I had so much else to catch up on, and am now, just about, back to normal. But struggling to fill in a 14 page form to apply for a Disabled badge - next page is page 9! Sigh!
