Hi All,

This pic was taken today,NOT with my usual Skywatcher ED80.

I was testing a Skywatcher st 20-60x60,and this Female?, Bowerbird came down for a little feed.

The pic is not as sharp,as I would have liked,but not too bad considering my hasty focusing,and shot.

I have NOT seen these Bowerbirds,very often,But that Blue eye is Striking.

I am fairly certain it is a Female,and not a Juvenile.given the size,

BUT,it can take up to 7 years for a MALE to gain maturity,and in between,the M/F look very similar.

Regards.
John
