Thanks for posting this, I have never heard of this bird until today.
Love the ring of blue around the eyes.
Your composition is great and the pin sharp detail is what makes this Satin Bower bird a pleasure to view .

They are such neat birds. Find his bower and you will find purple articles around it. :-)

Super catch of this lifer David. May I suggest you lighten the shadows a bit though to bring out the detail of the bird better. It may be just my monitor however that makes it a bit dark.

Hi Stephanie, yes that is the true colour of his eye a vivid blue.
