Bird 22 - Satin Bowerbird

My theme for October is the birds I have photographed while out and about.

The Satin Bowerbird (Ptilonorhynchus violaceus) is a bowerbird endemic to eastern Australia. The bird on the left is the male - female on the right. The Satin Bowerbird gets its name from its habit of building a bower out of sticks, and decorating it with blue items, like stolen pegs, straws, and bits of litter, as well as blue flowers and berries.

I've always been fascinated by the nests they build, but I never would have thought the two of them would look so very different!

I went for a 5 hours walk at Dandeelong national park, so many birds. Unfortunately I don't have my long len.
