Green Catbird

[Mad Aussie]

We often hear these in the rain-forest but very rarely ever see one. Usually it's just some movement in the branches at best. We hear the call which sounds like a crying cat I guess.

Nice capture, and nice use of flash. You must have come rather close to this one.

Fine detail on our fine feathered friend. Very well captured, MA. Love the colour of this guy.

Thanks Matt, IG and Bambi.

Matt ... nope ... I was probably about 6 or 7 metres from him. With the light in the canopy making him look dark, I couldn't even see what he was until I got the capture.

Very cool capture! What a pretty bird! He looks like a cross between a starling and Sadie!

[Mad Aussie]

Thanks JAS. He's probably the size of a large Starling I guess. Maybe a tad bigger.
