I often hear Figbirds (Sphecotheres viridis) sitting high in the trees. However, that's not much good for a clear photo so when this one sat on the electricity wire the other day I walked quietly around the house to take some photos. The bird was so intent on singing that it took little notice of me and I was able to get a series of clear photos. This is a male bird - the female has a grey/brown color around the eye and is streaked down the front.
great shots Mick. They are really gorgeous. That kind of shut you want all of them to be.
ReplyDeleteI guess they eat figs. :)
what a great looking bird! so colorful, but not in a garish way!
ReplyDeletePerfect images! So thoughtful of him to come out and pose.
ReplyDeleteMick..you asked in my post about the hawk going into my garage if it got the sparrow and no it didn't. The sparrow would be kind of small for a Coopers hawk as they usually go after doves...Michelle
ReplyDeleteLovely images, Mick.
ReplyDeleteVery cooperative bird.
