Restless Flycatcher (Myiagra inquieta) hovering Bowra Station SW QLD
Canon EOS 40D Lens 100-400mm L IS USM at 400mm ISO 400 F6.3 1/1250 available light 8 August 2009
One of a pair of Restless Flycatchers that was flitting over the lagoon at Bowra Station near Cunnamulla Queensland chasing insects with intermittent hovering . Did a series on this behaviour and this image is one of that series. Birds in Backyards website has a great summary of this species together with MP3 calls and distribution map at : http://birdsinbackyards.net/bird/138. Birds in Backyards is part of The Australian Museum's web presence and the birds covered are not all backyard birds in the strict sense of that phrase.
Thanks for viewing
Best regards
