• Victoria’s Riflebirds •
For a brief moment the male started displaying when the female landed next to him on my perch. I loved the pose where you can see the full wing display. Do you guys think he impressed then female next to him?
She looks kind of sceptical if you ask me

Just posted a new YouTube video, taking you with me into the rainforest to photograph these incredible birds of paradise in some tough low lights conditions.
Have you ever seen a Riflebird or other bird of paradise display?

Green Pygmy Goose
Always fun when you shoot near water with 🐊 in them. Was very happy to add this beautiful species to my archive.
Have you ever seen one of these?

Southern Cassowary walking along a beach in Far North Queensland in some awful weather that actually created quite a nice mood 😀

The amazing Victoria’s Riflebird displaying. It’s one of three birds of paradise species in Australia. Do you think the female is impressed?

I am just active again after I had to take an unexpected 4 moths long break due to a severe illness, but I am slowly recovering. 😀

A pair of Grey-headed Robins, endemic to Far North Queensland. These guys were actually hopping around in a car park, but didn’t mind to hop on my perch for a quick photo 😄

Back from my 2 month long road trip to Far North Queensland. We photographed some amazing birds like this MacLeays Honeyeater. The hard part comes now at home, sorting through over 100k images taken!

@teamswiftparrot Red-capped?

Gouldian Finches. The ones without the crazy colours are the babies. There’s two males and one female (dull) in the photo as well
Quite amazing to see a big flock of these in the wild

Endangered Glossy Black Cockatoo. They only feed on the seeds of certain casuarina species. I love how they hold the seeds kinda like a ice cream cone or microphone

The elusive Black Grasswren. This time I got lucky with three of them showing up
