I wonder wheher you may have caught the focus with the branch to the front of this beautiful bird Don?
I see these in country Victoria, and I know how hard they are to catch sitting still! They are incredibly busy little birds.

Should you wish to go down the prime path, the 70mm Ltd is another goodie, from personal experience - it doesn't get the raves of the 77, but is a high quality performer, is well reviewed (eg at Photozone here), and is smaller FWIW.
It opens up to 2.4, so is comparable with the good zooms.

I had to smile at your 'Valley of the Rocks' shot - I was subconsciously starting to look for the troll!

A good discussion for the lenses forum here - Are you considering a prime or a zoom? The the Pentax DA 12-24 seems to work well for those that have it, as does the DA 15. The DA 21 is also a good choice, although clearly not as wide. It really depends on your own needs most of all.

Seeing you are happy with zooms and the flexibility they give you James, what about looking at a DA* zoom like the 50-135? That fits in nicely with your 16-45 f4 zoom, and gives you the reach as well. It is f2.8 wide open, perfectly useable wide, and renders beautifully.
I should add that its IQ is comparable with the Ltds.
