I used to study this bird in Sumatra, though never had a chance to take a good picture like you did. Amazing pictures as I always love this bird. I link this post to mine if you don’t mind

I’m chuffed you called me Great; not so sure about the peasant though (er, I see it’s pheasant). ^_^

When I lived on the farm I would spend hours watching a satin bower bird sneaking my blue pegs and abusing his reflection in the bumper bar of my car.

Magical moments.

He was shaking his stuff for the best part of half an hour. The peahens meanwhile pottered around pecking for food, just giving him the occasional weary glance and shaking their heads. So it was wonderful to see, but had something of a Muppet Show sketch about it.

They were in a video made by Jamie Robertson called “Sounds Like Australia”. Alas. No DVDs in those days. Inter alia, it showed the mating dance of the Victorian Rifle Bird, so beautiful I wept. I was reminded of the styleised movements of Japanese dancers. Sadly, it is only a matter of time before my video ‘dies’. As in my video of “Gates of Hell’ the colour is leeching away. Like you, one cal only cling to an experience which will probably never be repeated. I never miss your blog entriesand, even if you don’t think much of your photos, i find they move into my “Pictures” folder and enlarge quite well. Best wishes, Audrey White
