I’m just home from a lengthy trip to Papua New Guinea and Australia. I thought I’d start by sharing this amazing Bird of Paradise the Ribbon-tailed Astrapia. What a bird!

If you want to see more images from this trip my latest newsletter has just gone out chronicling my the trip…

I hope you’ll enjoy these amazing birds - https://tinyurl.com/yn4wtwuz

That seems like an incredible bird to see and shoot. Wonderful colours. Just wonder, are the tail feathers blown? That wondered, I like the image a lot ! Cheers, Hans

A very neat bird, Glenn. Difficult colors to work with, but this image looks good.
