Healesville II - Lyrebird

For the rest of this month, I am going to post some shots that I took at the Healesville Sanctuary. Healesville Sanctuary is one of Australia’s most recognised attractions, showcasing more than 200 species of Australian wildlife.



The extremely illusive Lyrebird. We were lucky to see this one as it was mating season on top of the fact that they're generally quite shy anyway!

    And very talented musically too. They love to imitate other birds' songs.
