Band-tailed Manakin (Peru)

These guys are CRAZY! They bounce around on branches trying to impressive the ladies at their display sites. It is hilarious to watch. I filmed them as well so if you are keen to check em out in action:

Amazing looking bird with great BG and perch...Seems to be lacking fine feather detail. The eye is fantatsic

[Wynand van Wyk]

Truly a very beautiful bird. Love the colours and green background.

Well captured indeed!

Another unique specie and a great settings, excellent colors but the IQ lacks just like the previous photos, I am guessing the slow shutter speed is to blame or maybe too much noise reduction applied
