This is the fascinating Bower of the Satin Bowerbird. It was shown to me by another photographer who I met at Bateau Bay. Unfortunately it is very close to a walking track and also to a road so I don't like this bird's chances with the the ladies!!!
This photo was taken on August 25, 2007 using an Olympus E-500.

What a wonderful find - great composition to emphasise the bower and it's trimmings.

Must have been cool to have seen one in person! I saw a series about Bower Birds on the show Nature (PBS TV USA). Thanks for a great look!
