    Very shy bird and difficult to spot as they blend so well with the vegetation. They usually stay high up in the canopy, which is about the level my flat is. Males are jet black and females have these leopard spots. Never seen them in such close proximity before.

    This guy was seen chasing the missy all over the place. He was serenading her at that time.
