Oh, marvellous, Tony! What a sighting!
ReplyDeleteI particularly love the second pic. Long eyelashes and that casque with the jaunty angle.
Hi Bronwen: One of best quarter hours I've ever had birding. Cursed a bit when second pic proved too focussed on that long beak and not on eyes. But had I not recently bought Speedlite probably would have had almost nothing to show of the encounter.

Hi Gouldiae: Sure was. Problem now is to avoid expecting similar experiences whenever I'm in the rainforest!
ReplyDeleteHi Tony
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots.
I prefer the 3rd image, with the orange-red neck colour.
A real "poster" shot.
You are right that it may never happen again. But you have the memory, and the pictures to prove it too.
Fantastic experience.
