Regent Bowerbird at our small waterhole

Regent Bowerbird at our small waterhole (Sericulus chrysocephalus)

We had Delia sitting in a hide at our waterhole last year to see what she could photograph.This Regent Bowerbird surely took notice of her lens poking out through a hole in the hide,but it still took a drink,which goes to show that even shy birds will get used to a photographers set up.In fact I was sitting among some bushes next to her.

One of the stars of the show... actually there were so many that came out to greet me!!!

I guess your hide is far enough back to not really cause any disturbance?

A fantastic picture you've taken of this beauty Hans, many thanks for the reminder of those lovely hours sitting there.
