Satin Bowerbird Wooing A Mate

It's mating time for Satin Bowerbirds.  On our recent trip to the magnificent Bunya Mountains (my very special place) Ron was  delighted to spot an eligible male bowerbird trying to impress a lady with his craft at building bowers, decorating them with blue jewels to match her eyes and his singing.  He will have to improve his act it seems.  You can read more about them at http://wingedhearts.org/bowerbirds and the I Love Bunya Mountains facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/pages/I-Love-Bunya-Mountains/175650352477322 .

When A Lady's Bathing

Satin bowerbirds usually live in cool rainforests, migrating to our parts of the world only in winter and early spring.  A lady bowerbird has been frequenting the lilypot this winter and the camera was at hand to capture some shots of this beautiful bird.   Have a sneak peak below:
