In the summer of 2012 I visited the remote eastern part of Indonesia, West-Papua, formerly known as Irian Jaya. After a two-hour extensive four-wheel drive through the dense jungle from Sorong to Makbon I reached this fantastic beach. With the dark monsoon clouds in the background a Papuan fisherboy is trying to catch some fish next to two massive mangrove trees.
Wamena Airport, West Papua. We were waiting for our flight to Dekai, we didn't know when it was scheduled. I was bored. I looked outside and...

We docked at the village of Pepera on the Sirets river, after 8 hours of downstream shipping on the Brazza river. Silence around. Only children playing.
Captured this Papuan pitta in the rainforest of Kutini-Payamu National Park in the Iron Range, Far North Queensland, Australia.
This is one of the key birds, and why people come to this area in the wet season.

From one Podargus to another, presenting the fantastic Papuan Frogmouth, AKA "The Big Podargus!"
The Papuan Frogmouth is Australia's largest frogmouth species, reaching lengths of up to 60cm. Found in northern Australia, particularly the Cape York Peninsula & extending south into the eastern coast of Queensland to areas around Townsville, it also ranges into New Guinea. While sharing the cryptic camouflage of its more widespread relative, the Tawny Frogmouth, the Papuan Frogmouth can be distinguished by its notably larger size, striking red eyes & comparatively longer tail.
While males tend to be more silvery-grey with intricate brown-grey scalloping & marbling, females often exhibit a more rufous or reddish-brown hue. This sexual dimorphism in plumage is a distinguishing feature, with the female's colouration often being duller or less contrasting than the males.
A very exciting sighting on the Daintree River. We were lucky enough to see two groups of Papuan frogmouths, thanks to our awesome guide, Ian "Sauce" Worcester. They are much bigger than the usual Tawny Frogmouth we are used to, but still love that "I'm really a branch' pose.
No. 137 in my Birds of Australia set.

Just got back from my 'far away' garden, it's out of town. I was so happy that all of the flowers were blooming there and most of the fruit were ripe and ready. And this is one of them, my tiger orchid I got from Papua, kinda rare now, it's one of my fav orchids.
