Lyrebird

These birds are often called 'Liarbirds' as they have the ability to copy all the calls of the others in the forest. Then when you creep up quietly and find it skulking in the darkest places*, it is just a dull brown pheasant with an slightly elaborate tail ... although not this one!

Copland forest, Gloucester NSW
