Todiramphus sanctus
April 15, 2005: Rottnest Island, Western Australia
I noticed a couple of people peering into a tree near the road, and then one of them pointed out the bird – one of the most beautiful birds I’ve ever seen! What gorgeous colors, and it was posing just perfectly. One of my favorite birds of the day! About half an hour later, I spotted a second one, also perched in a tree.
Let me know what you think!
