In the annual school play the Friarbird is sick of being cast as the ugly villain!
I had a close range experience with this "fellow" at Noosa in a bit of golden hour light. When reviewing the images I felt this bird appeared keen to audition for some other roles!

Bird on!










Tee hee, love your captions but you missed the religious implications. He would have made a perfect preacher. Absolutely lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I would love to see one of these in real live, person to bird!! Wow. Fabulous commentary.
ReplyDeleteA great series of photos and I enjoyed the captions.
ReplyDeleteoh, very clever Pete; great photos of the Friarbird and fabulous captions; well done
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that I have not done the same thing with my birds - the cormorants are cooperating, but I think the egrets are just cashing in!
