Magnificent Bird of Paradise (male) - Mokwam, West Papua, Indonesia
Male Magnificent Bird of Paradise. Photographed at Mokwam, West Papua, Indonesia on 23 October 2016. One of the birds that you don't want to leave without seeing well is the fabulous Mag BoP. We struggled a bit with this one, but got there in the end, mostly thanks to local super guide Zeth for building a new hide especially for us! We were mesmerized as the tastefully gaudy male cavorted around in front of us at very close range - a superb avian spectacle...
