Love the colors of this bird, and like the complimentary frame you added, What a comical looking bird, he looks like he has something on his mind! I have never seen this kind of bird before.

I read so much about these birds when reading stories about Australia but have never seen one... they are so wonderful and I believe quite noisy (?). Fabulous detail and tones, must be wonderful to see them for real ;)
Top-notch work Sandrine!

Ufff, I´ve been eyeing your portfolio and decided to comment this one because it´s the most recent photo, but your shots are amazing.
This bird seems to be paralized, and the colours and backrgound tend to make you pay attention to this nice animal.
Keep up the good work.

Très joli "portrait" de cet étonnant oiseau. As-tu une photo ou on le voit en entier car les couleurs bleutées de son plumage ont l'air superbe ?

@Evelyne Dubos: Non, malheureusement je n'en ai pas... J'ai pris cette photo a travers un grillage. j'ai la meme photo avec un peu plus de son corp mais pas en entier.

Bonsoir,
Une belle photo pour un bel oiseau qui m'invite à dire :
" Le chant des oiseaux
vient de l’infini pour réveiller
les coeurs perdus
dans les méandres du temps. "
Bien à vous, et douce soirée, amicalement, Marie.
