WOW, what an amazing species. That tail is massive. Brilliant eye shine set within that black face. Exceptional work JB! TFS!

This is wonderful, JB! The bird is very beautiful and you've captured it perfectly. And what a lovely setting!

Great shot. Very nice bird. Never saw this one in my over 25 years traveling to Corella. Perhaps next year. I will keep my eyes open.
