Quoting David Mann <dmann...@gmail.com>:
I was very lucky today. A bellbird came to visit our garden. I see
one here maybe once or twice a year. They tend to hang out closer
to the hills, about 2km away. They're quite skittish and I've had
the AF motor of my camera scare one off before. Today I kept my
distance and managed to get a photo.

This is a fairly heavy crop. It's also had some "Shadow /
Highlight" treatment to bring out his plumage. It's a touch noisy
as I shot at 800ISO due to poor light.
K10D, FA*400mm f/5.6.
Nice shot - good to see the bird in habitat, even if it's Australian
habitat. :-)>
I found a sound clip of its song - very beautiful.
Cheers
Brian
