Pheasant Coucal
The Pheasant Coucal I must confess it is not my most favorite bird because it is responsible for eating many of the young chicks nesting on our property. These photos I took here were taken a couple of years ago before I acquired my good len's and it was overcast almost raining on and off. Other names are Cane Pheasant and Swamp Pheasant. They are 50-70cm in size with the female being larger. The Pheasant Coucal in these photos are a breeding Coucal.

The Sociable Male Regent Bowerbird
I get to achieve many wonderful things photographing birds, wild life and landscapes. The Male Regent Bowerbird when I saw him for the first time, I considered him very timid, but as I got to work with them more and more and I built up trust with them I was amazed just how sociable they are.

They Breed April- Nov and they have just the one partner for the breeding season. (how lovely) or depending on nectar...
A Bowl Of feathers and Color
The King Parrots never disappoint me I get the opportunity to photograph them. These photos were all taken at O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat Qld a couple of years ago and just never got around to posting them. Iam lucky as I don't have to travel now to get my King Parrot photos as I have my own little family of them visit us on our property and come to almost arms reach of us while relaxing under our patio. But I thought I would share these few photos to show how socialable, colorful and charming they are. The male has lovely...
