  • A friendly Brown Cuckoo-Dove.

    Brown Cuckoo-Dove (Macropygia phasianella) came calling (for a mate).

    This is where it was visiting the guinea pig enclosure.

    (I forgot I was using portrait position for this)

    There is a young male Satin Birds practicing in the background & the car horn has an effect on the dove too.

    This is where the dove flies closer & above me.

    All taken with E-M1 II & MC20 + 40-150mm f2.8 lens (in AF).

      Thanks. That Jacaranda is just inside the back fence of my front neighbour having come from their deck railing (they might not have been pleased about me taking photos of the bird sitting there) but being on the south side the light was right & the green backing worked well. It then flew over & above me just to the north of me & why the light was totally unsuitable, but I had to show the video clip of it cooing to me though.
