Clean up.
A female Fig Bird has a bit of a clean up, perhaps before going out to a bird's party! Thanks to Dave Nice who tried to help me with an ID and May (Maybe) who was able to solve the problem. I looked at google to identify it, thinking it may have indeed been a Fig Bird but the fickle nature of the internet is such that most of the first photos that came up were male fig birds which are green and quite different to the females. I stopped my search too soon, but I think in their own way, the females with these lovely stripe like feathers are just as pretty. Thanks again to both May and Dave.
I captured this in the big park down at Cleveland, Redlands where we found quite a managery of birds a month of two back (think Channel Billed Cuckoo). The park is named after an early German settler but I can't spell it off the top of my head right now!
Cleveland, Queensland
