Angela Farnsworth, Australian Brush-turkey (ANIMAL & NATURE 2025)

The Australian Brush-turkey could not be more polarising with people either loving or hating this bird mainly due to its incredible nest building abilities that can make a mess of one's garden. I'm in the camp of loving this quirky bird and spent some time in low light conditions trying to capture the many faces of this bird as the bird groomed its tail feathers or just strutted around pecking at the ground.
