Australasian Figbird (male)

There’s one or several parties of Figbirds in town, and I often hear them and occasionally see them in or from my backyard. As there name implies, figbirds eat small fruit.
Not a great photo, but the best I’ve been able to manage of this species.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Interesting bird; I took several shots yesterday of a bird and got similar results; if your camera can be put into 'spot' metering - try it

What a beauty! I'd love to have those in my backyard. I'd even buy them figs!
