The pretty Brown Cuckoo-Dove made a return visit, I'd first seen him here at this forest waterhole on my first day out with Hans.

He really seems to tone in well with the forest floor, doesn't he.

It's the only cuckoo-dove to be found in Australia.

Beautiful! And pretty amazing that your camera (or you, on manual?) managed to focus with so little contrast.

Now this one seems to be cryptic, especially in the environment it is in. Great close-up D! TFS!
