This species is a beautiful adornment of the rainforest, especially males are very colorful. Olive-green females are hardly noticeable in the green forest. Males have a beautiful plumage but they are very skittish and it takes some luck and dexterity to capture this bird. Males are a little larger than females and their body length reaches up to 15 cm. An intriguing and beautiful gallery has been created. I invite you to take a look.

Bustards are the birds that are my favorite and I absolutely admire them. However in South Africa we only once could encounter the representatives of these birds and it was thanks to my observation. Unfortunately, after we had stopped the car the blue bustards  that were hidden in the grass took to flight, and it was the moment when the presented photos were taken. And that was it, we did not see  blue bustards in South Africa any more. The gallery, however, must be created for two reasons.

Adding another species of crane on my website is really something special for me. And adding so rare species of crane is a reason to be doubly delighted. Unfortunately, the picture quality leaves much to be desired, but I had only one opportunity to encounter with these birds and it did not last long. There were not many of them in the area and they have always been seen at great distance, as the inhabitants of the surroundings said.

I have always thought that nature photography in Poland is an activity for patient and determined people only. Everywhere else, where I photographed it was easier, not to mention the fact that using a hide was an exception. On Malta it was worse for two reasons, I suppose. I’m not sure which of them is more important, but I’ll start with population density. Everywhere, where population density is high, it is difficult to have a direct contact with nature, not to mention its biodiversity.

Despite occuring quite commonly and coming in to my feeders, I have managed to take such a pretty picture camouflaged in the forest, likely, because of the morning color of the rising sun. Its blue, yellow and white coloring can be fancied, especially observed from a closer distance. In size comparable to a Marsh Tit, as its weight is around dozen or so grams with a wingspan not exceeding 20 centimeters.
