Lyre Bird in Wollemi National Park NSW, Australia

Ive tried so many times to get up close to one of these birds. They always hear or see me coming and run off before I ever get a glance. Your so lucky to capture this.

no tripod! i was halfway through a seven hour trek with a 30 kilo pack on, so I had to lean against a tree for support.

great photography. What tripod did you use? I just bought the Velbon CX-300, works awesome. Great video

I'm jealous. Whenever I go camping I'll look through the undergrowth for a Lyre Brid while all the time I should have been looking up!

Gorgeous bird and great vid!

@verticalsmurf Thanks for the comment! This was the first time I had seen one in the wild, and we saw another two the following day. I would definitely recommend the Wolgan Valley if you want to see one, as the place was teaming with them.
