Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #50ShadesOfGrey, "birds with grey plumage". From a long-ago trip into the Australian Outback, an apostle bird.

𝐀𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠—they're so social and vocal. The Outback must have been an 𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓻𝓮𝓭𝓲𝓫𝓵𝓮 setting to photograph them. Did you encounter them in a particular habitat, or were they widespread across where you traveled?
This one was in Mutawintji National Park
We were on a tour of a national park, we saw other birds that day (wedge-tail eagle and emus), but this is the only Apostle bird.
