Great photo.

A beautiful shot of this industrious chap! :clap:

Marmot, the satin Bowerbirds will settle for yellow if they can't get blue! :-O Some years ago when I lived where there were many Satin Bowerbirds, they would steal my clothes pegs - I used to have to take all the blue ones from each new packet and leave them on a fence post for them, otherwise they would manage to get them off the line, with unfortunate consequences for my washing! :'D Sooner or later, however, they would come for the yellow ones - but not until they had collected every blue object they could find. They never stole any colours other than blue or yellow.

Fantastic birds and such interesting behaviour they display, wow well done

Amazing that after posting this picture this morning, a pair of Great Bowerbirds were in our garden this afternoon!
