Description

Today's prize catch. Spotted at Charlie Moorlands on a walk there. Very difficult to photograph being a dark bird in the rainforest. I had fogotten to take my flash with me on the walk so these are high ISO shots suitable for ID puposes only.

A spectacular bird to watch with it's irredescent crown, bib and tail feathers flashing as it moved about hunting for food.
