Male Raggiana Bird-of-Paradise displaying (Paradisaea raggiana)

The Raggiana Bird-of-Paradise is a fitting national bird of Papua New Guinea (PNG): it is widespread and failry common throughout. This bird was shot just outside the capital Port Moresby, at the excellent Varirata National Park, where they can regularly been seen in spectacular display.
