Hey,

Some of the coolest perches around here in Australia are the seed pods of the various banksia scrubs. I liked this one in particular with its little red leaves.
Super stoked to have gotten a cool bird on it :)
These flycatcher are full of character and I really like their crests.

Great capture! The pose, the perch, the BG, catchlight, detail and colors are super.
