Just a couple of shots of a small Star Finch. These are mostly found on the northern coastline areas of Western Australia and the Northern Territory. I believe they do make their way just into Queensland also.

This is an unsually coloured bird, very interesting. Funny how is eye looks so tiny. Keep up the good work, Mitcon!

I'm not convinced that's not what happened.;)

That is a nice shot of a very cool bird. I bet it would be awsome to visit Australia.

It looks like He has a Beak problem.Was He in an aviary or in the Wild, We have some Young in the aviary at the Moment , the Parent Male is red and the female is Orange Faced, waiting to see what Colour they turn out to be. These shots show the true Colour for a Star and very sharp too. EW.
