'Me or him!' (Acanthiza chrysorrhoa)

Because of everyone at home sick I wasn't able to get out today except around the house.....these guys are frequent visitors to my pine trees and when I went into one of the horse yards they came out and sat on the fence waiting for insects to grab, this one didn't seem to mind that I was there and jumped down to get some grubs and then back to a good vantage point! Seemed to be more interested in me when I landed this image,....might have been because the Pallid Cuckoo landed on the same fence and it was wondering who I was going to photograph LOL......do hope you like it!
