This is a first for me untill today I had never even seen one, I think it could be a young bird it landed about 8m from me and let me get quite close about 4m it only flew off when I moved to try to get a better angle

I really want to see one of those they are so cool! So close, great photo!
Lovely shot. Detail around the head is magic.
Insanely madly jealous
Wow Mark, just wow. Look at the eyes on him/her, such an awesome bird. Fantastic capture, and the detail is just brilliant. What time of day did you happen upon this gorgeous creature?
West Coast Tasmania
So cute, fluffy and adorable!
It was 2pm the light was awful and I was about to start back to the car then he/she landed in the only patch of sunlight thats why its a bit backlit I would normally hate that but in this case I think it helps show off his fuzzy head
Excellent shot. I so want to see one of these.

You're so right, the back/side lighting works well here, shows the birds long peach fuzz hairdo off beautifully. How lucky were you that he chose then to land near you, as you were leaving!

Oh my goodness , how lovely. Those eyes are hypnotic aren't they ?!! How blessed you are to get such an opportunity to not only see this little one but to be able to take a photo of it as well. Outstanding photo just perfect !!!!!
