I think this is the Australasian Figbird, male and female. But as Aus birds are totally new to me I will probably make mistakes. I trust you will tell me when it happens. I want to get it right as I post the species I photographed. :)

Quite a difference in plumage between the male and female.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds! I love that I get to explore birds from all over the world through these blogs. Your photos are just great!
ReplyDeleteThe male Figbird is a lovely looking bird
ReplyDeleteThe male is pretty, love his yellow breast.. Great sighting and photos.
ReplyDeleteThe red eye on the male is quite distinctive. I have them singing around my house most mornings. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteBåda är vackra fast hanen är mycket färggrannare.
ReplyDeleteA very interesting bird and beauitful photos.
ReplyDeleteLove the streaked plumage on the breast of the female bird
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating bird. Great photos! :)
ReplyDeleteThey surely are different... male from female... don't actually seem the same bird at all do they? We have nothing like those here ....
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the first photo I had a flash back to a wonderful book given to me as a little girl when I first arrived in Australia by kind neighbours wanting to show me the beauty of Australiana nature. Naturally at that age it wasn't really appreciated and tis only now that I ache to have it and cannot even remember its name. It must have cost a lot as it had coloured photographs and had exquisite drawings as well...like a precious museum book.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your beautiful photos.
