This east Australian male Bowerbird was cleaning its Bower of all items that were not blue. Located on the Southern beach rain forest of Skeens Creek I set up my remote Sony HVL-F60RM Wireless Radio Flash nearby the bower. I then positioned myself some Ten Meters away through thick bush and waited for approx One hour until the bird returned to the Bower to clean and straighten it ready for prospective mates. I only took one photo, as the leaf was tossed in a split second.
