Looking carefully you can see 5 regent bower birds here - they are females and immatures. I didn't even manage to count how many there were, around 8 - 10 .
OB their skull caps show up even more.
All was movement as they dove in and out of the water and constantly changing positions around the rim. And then they were gone.
Thank you for you concern during these awful fire events. I am still safe, and there are now only 3 major fires in my vicinity, one is under control now.
