Inflation!
To see these courting birds was fantastic, especially the males! Will probably post a few more, but the detail of this inflatable pouch, the feathers etc sadly may not come across in this, however... :frown:

Classic shot of these beautiful birds Stephen,
I like the pattern of the single feathers on the red throat.

A bold punchy image with great composition, I really like this one.

Really cool, also like the patterns of the individual feathers as they peter out, and the detail in the blacks is great. If he inflates much more that wicked bill will pop it! :wink:
