Lombrum, Manus Island

views from my new home for the next 3 months

well not my exact view, this is what I see when I go for a walk 5-10 mins from where I am living
Looks like a gorgeous view!

Wow you are in Papua New Guinea!! How cool :) What are you going to be doing there for the next 3 months?

Oh gosh that looks marvellous.. what a wonderful scene! I must get myself an extra lottery ticket - the thought that 2 of my favourite 365ers are in the same vicinity..!! :)
(In fact I regularly buy an extra ticket in the hope of a world tour so that I can visit all my 365 friends one day, which is ironic when I've never even met up with any in England..!)

Seadler Bay? Seen some crackin' sunrises there.

Have you heard or seen the Manus Friarbird yet? Crackin' bird that one!

@bobfoto heard them quite a few times and think I had a glimpse of one yesterday morning
Do you know what the bird is with bright red eyes? I have also seen (and studied webpages to be able to name it) olive backed sunbird which is a lovely little bird

@lbmcshutter - Blackbird with red eyes? Sounds like a Koel?

@lbmcshutter - Oh and my notes here says I saw the sunbirds at Manus. Spangled Drongoes also have red eyes, and is a blackbird.

@lbmcshutter - or a Metallic Starling... seen them on the islands.

@lbmcshutter - oh and there's two pigeons on Manus with red eyes.

paradise!!!!!!! Not for the asylum seekers I imagine, but this is a beautiful scene and capture. I look forward to seeing the birds and wildlife on Manus Is!

@bobfoto I think the metallic starling may be a match, I do recall flashes of green tinged feathers and saw something looking like the juvenile version near by. - thanks

@lbmcshutter - Metallic Starlings, hang out in groups but can be found solo and in pairs.... very noisy as the sun rises and sets.
