Regent Bowerbird
A Regent Bowerbird, (
Sericulus chrysocephalus
Ptilonorhynchidae) photographed at O'Reillys Resort, Green Mountain, Queensland, Australia.
With its silky yellow-and-black feathers, the male Regent Bowerbird in full breeding plumage is one of the more spectacular sights of the warm temperate rainforests of eastern Australia. Nevertheless, despite the vivid colours of the males, they are surprisingly inconspicuous except when perched prominently in the sun or when displaying at a bower; usually they are shy and retiring. The bower of this species is smaller and less ostentatiously decorated than those of other bowerbirds, though perhaps the spectacular plumage makes up for this apparent deficiency.

This is an old one from some time back. I do like to reprocess some of the older images sometimes.
Many thanks to all my Flickr photo stream followers I have now more than 1.8 million views, thank you. Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it is very much appreciated.
I love scrolling through Flickr looking at everyone's images, getting new ideas.
