The females are much prettier ;) Nice pic, generally their to high up in trees for me.
Talk about take the words right out of my mouth you lot....lol
There is not much left for me to say Trev, My first thought when I saw that pic was it should be framed.
Exceptional shot of this species mate....Well Done !!!
Great great shot Trev ... thanks for posting.
Cheers

Wow... brilliant!
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best
Thanks everyone. To be honet I was dissapointed with the technical quality but she might come back another day. Never mind birdie, with a bit of luck we won't get too much of those posts.

Thanks Bushy, I didn't want to be too unkind and I didn't think anyone had got it.
I did see another of the same and I think it is totally inappropriate. About the technical difficulties, I think the composition more than made up for any slight imperfections. I have never seen one look more beautiful and if that was me i would be ecstatic! :'D

Great shot Trev. Here is a male to go with your female. Like you I consider myself lucky to see one down lower so that I could photograph it. This one was in a crepe myrtle tree in my northern suburb Brisbane backyard.

Got this on the long weekend. I suppose a male had to follow a female. We had 2 of each in the trees in the back yard so it was a matter of climbing up and down the tree untill I got the chance for a shot.

Excellent Trev, great capture. Are they nesting in your garden? lucky you (even if they are just dining out in your garden:)

just looking at the female shot again which is superb. The light brown markings on the breast look sort of fuzzy whereas the rest of the picture is sharp as.... was she calling and therefore the breast was moving or is that the appearance of the markings sort of fluffy?

Koels are cuckoos Hev so they don't have a nest of their own. They usually use Pee Wee (magpie lark) nests in our area from what I know so I will be keeping an eye on the Pee Wee nest in the tree next door. I looked at about 5 of the original images from the day i shot the female and almost every one of them had that area of the bird blured. I don't remember if she was calling when I took the shots but they can be very vocal.
