Although it may look like a Little Blue the give aways are The White Tuft of feathers on the head and at the base of the neck along w/the CRAZY RED EYES. They are also a bit bigger than the Little Blues and not as Colorful or as large as the Great Blue.
I'm not a BIRDER It's just that I'm a bit obsessed about knowing WHAT I'VE CAPTURED .

What a fabulous image. So detailed and clear.
I think you are thinking of Ned Kelly as the bushranger. Jack Haynes was just a worker on the property. #10239665
