the she Bower Bird

I had no idea the female bower birds are so lovely! I was totally surprised when there was a noisy flurry at the bird bath and I started photographing as at least 8 of these beauties were there together.
The group were females and immature bower birds (which basically look the same).

Thank you for the many words of support regarding the fires. Stopping to process a few photos gives a little stress relief, so I'm managing to post, but that's about it.
Conditions are predicted to be far more settled today, so I hope things can be brought under control.
