Season's Greetings to you! That's another great assortment of bush birds. I'm a bit envious since I've only been seeing shorebirds recently. I guess I am looking in the wrong places for bush birds :-)

Love the smooth colouring of the flycatcher and the sacred kingfisher is certainly connected with the kookaburra shape!

Thats a nice collection of birds - I'd like to see the Pale Headed. I think I may have to check out this B and B

Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW.

Aren't birds such exquisite creatures? The little Leaden Flycatcher is a delight and of course so is the gorgeous Sacred Kingfisher. Beautiful clear captures.

So beautiful Neil...thank you for sharing them (all birds I'll probably never see...so many birds, so little time ;>).....The rosella is just heavenly. We do have kingfishers here (one of my goals is to get a decent picture of one)...but ours are definitely not sacred ;>).

Awesome Neil! I love that female Leaden Flycatcher and those colorful Kingfishers you have over their are to die for!!

Hi Neil and a Happy New Year to you too!
Love the beautiful photos you've taken on your colourful birds! We don't see any of those I think, in my country Sweden.

Thanks for your comment on my WBW-post http://www.istoradrag.blogspot.se/2012/12/solen-sag-vi-igar.html
