Hiding

Taking photos of the koels in our strawberry guava bush wasn't easy as you can see. They are quite nervous birds, but I did like how this his eye really stood out peeping out of the bush.

Quite a challenging subject well captured Babs:)

[Helen Jane]

the bird is well placed to draw attention to that beady eye.

[Pat Knowles]

The perfect camaflouge…..his eyes are very noticeable & do they eat the berries I wonder?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It looks like a game of peek-a-boo Koel style!

[Babs]

@happypat Yes they eat the berries but the ones in this photo are not ripe. They go red when they are ripe and the koels love them https://365project.org/onewing/2022/2023-03-07

I was sitting in our study taking the photos. I opened the glass sliding door but had to sit so still so that I wouldn't spook them.
