Both the Bee Eater and the Indian Pea Fowl shots are terrific, Sunil! They are nice sharp images!

It doesn't have a black throat.

Interesting fact, I didn't know But in this case, I think it's an adult, maybe female, as there is no long tail feather?

Here is another of the photos that I took and you can see a bit of the dark throat. I think it was just the angle of the other photo that gave the impression.

Phenomenal capture of the Grey Butcherbird, Richard! Great setting. I even like the spiderwebs clinging to the wood.

The Pink-backed Pelicans are very nicely captured, EOS_Fan, and they are even sporting colored leg jewelry.

Thanks LD, they do look attractive. I was hoping to get it coming up with a fish in its beak, but you never know where they're going to surface!

Ah yes, I see. And yes, the females' streaming tails are only about a centimetre long.

The Noisy Pitta (Pitta versicolor) is usually an elusive rainforest species, but this one has made it's home in the City Botanical Gardens in the centre of Brisbane!

Nice! Similar but different to our Rainbow Pittas.

Gorgeous bird Ulrike. Beautifully captured.
Certainly colourful plumage.
