I was in one of the old trips to Malayasia. This bird was in an enclosure of a village I visited. I was using a point and shoot camera at the time. Now it is memory.
The Malayan peacock-pheasant (Polyplectron malacense) also
known as crested peacock-pheasant or Malaysian peacock-pheasant, is a
medium-sized pheasant of the galliform family Phasianidae. The closely related
Bornean peacock-pheasant (P. schleiermacheri) was formerly included here as a
subspecies, but as understood today, P. malacense is monotypic.
Their plumage is generally pale brown with small black spots and bands all over, creating the "salt-and-pepper" effect found in most peacock-pheasants. It has iridescent blue-green eyespots with a buff border on its upper wings, back, and on the 22 rectrices, a white throat running down to the centre of the breast, and a loose, pointed and upturned dark blue-green crest on its forehead. A bare facial skin surrounds the eyes with their bluish-white iris; usually pink, it becomes bright orange-red during courtship. The bill and legs are blackish.
Female plumage is duller than in males, with a vestigial crest and eyespots only on remiges and rectrices. On the wing coverts and back, they have dark dots instead, which are pointed towards the feather tip.
Young birds resemble females but have even less-developed
eyespots and usually lack them entirely except on the rectrices. The downy
hatchlings are pale chestnut-brown above and buff below.

I cannot ID the birds. They do look nice.

Yesterday was Lunar Chinese New Year. I spent the whole day binge watching "Boy Swallows Universe". The series is definitely better than the book.
It is often spotted around kangaroo Roadkills near Kerang. They love to feed on Roo's meats.
Very hard to capture them on camera as they are scared of humans easily

I think the distracting bokeh takes away the focus of the swallow

Honeyeater in Cranbourne Garden is a guarantee in this banksia bush.
Honeyeaters can be either nectarivorous, insectivorous, frugivorous, or a combination of nectar- and insect-eating

They are not sighted commonly these days.
Joel got me a good deal with DJ mini Pro4. So, I am taking it out for a spin at the coast for drone photography. Another wild weekend.

I am not a birder for sure. No patience for this.

I was lucky enough to spot it in a casual walk in Mt Baw Baw. Pity it was squatting in the shadow.

This bird was the first name I was taught by my neighbour when I first arrived in Australia.
Just in front of my house on a tree in the park

I recalled this one was so loud that it took a little walk to approach her. She did not move at all.

Lately, I have been lucky to capture bird photos outside public toilets. Maybe there is something in these loos attracting these birds to them.
