Blue Satin

This magnificent Satin Bowerbird found his was into my living room and was frantically admiring himself in the mirror above the mantlepiece.

I approached slowly and picked him up gently to take him outside. He stayed sitting on my finger for several minutes – enough for me to reach the phone from my pocket and take a few pics.

His sheen was incredible, and his violet eyes strikingly beautiful. It was a special moment.
