Thanks to a rather fortuitous wrong turn I ended up driving along the Donna Buang Road and startled a Superb Lyrebird as I came around a bend.

The bird of course let out a fearful yelp and disappeared over the embankment down into the shady depths of the rainforest.

However, I discovered another lyrebird on the uphill side of the road attempting to rejoin its mate and was thereby able to grab a couple of photos before it too flapped across the road and disappeared.
