One of the inland Bowerbirds, a bird that I've never seen before. Photographed at Myall Park Botanic Gardens.

It looks like it's really giving you the once over Alan. Wonderful poses and excellent photos.

Thanks Isac. I had never seen one before. It seemed quite wary, moving around the pool but never going down to the water.

I was about to say the bird seems at least as interested in you as you are interested in it. Great portraits!

[wigz]

Thanks Hans, yes it seemed vary wary. I was in a hide but it did seem aware something wasn't quite right.

Impressed with the lighting and exposure as well would appear spot on for these images.

[wigz]

Thank you Hans, but the light for most of these was uneven to a greater or lesser degree, and some were against a bright background causing some under exposure. It took a bit of masking and adjusting to get them looking like this. The brightness range wasn't huge but it did need some work.

Stunning shots Alan.
