On a recent terrific, private tour to the Jenolan Caves, which is an hour and a half beyond the Blue Mountains, I was fortunate to experience my first sighting of the Superb Lyrebird.
The bird-like sounds coming from the forest were confusing, as I couldn’t pin point the species of bird. It was a cocktail of sounds from a kookaburra, a camera shutter closing to the sound of a car alarm going off!
Confusing to say the least!
I ended up peering into the undergrowth not knowing what to expect.
Then to my amazement, out of the foliage struts this beautiful pheasant bird, looking like a glamorous ramp model, with the most beautiful long, veil-like tail.
Blessed to have had this rare species of bird cross my path.
I’m not one of those readers that comments on articles often, but yours really compelled me. There’s a lot of interesting content in this article that is interesting and bold.
Thank you for your nice comment Sonny.
