Birds Crested Bellbird

[Ralph]

A good 98% of the crap going on is now gone and now I can get back here where I like to be.
So what I am posting is really my 1st outing this year, though I have been out but not for this amount of time, due to body and the heat here.

This is a Male Crested Bellbird and you can tell by the large Black bib while females are bibless plus a few other minor things.
This one was one of the easiest I have got of them as they are usually running or flying off. But this one was quite relaxed.
So I was able to get a few shots of it.

It was good to get back out but at the same time a little hard on the body.

Thanks so much Tim. It is a good feeling to be back home once again and I just have to stop filling my life up with junk , but as for the body that is just life for me. Not a thing I can do about it but suffer with it though try to fight it to get out.

Thanks so much for that and to be honest I don't miss too much but I did miss the forum and people who are here as I have found them like you the better or best kind of people to be around and to share with.

Welcome back Ralph!

Thanks for that and I think now I am right to not worry about other crap and be here where the true friends are.
