Australasian Figbird (I think)

[P Plates]

The only bird I managed to capture on our recent few days away and this after an hours drive on dirt roads to a really ho hum dam. Not the best light, but at least he was in the open

I've not seen one before. Am I right to assume they eat Figs?

Sounds like you were a bit let down by birds on your trip PP.
Must say I'm with Greg, not a bird I've seen. Would come back happy if I'd got to see or even photograph a new bird.

[Alan]

A new one for me too. You have to start somewhere

[P Plates]

Thanks guys.First time I've seen one also. Doubt there were any figs around here Greg - I think it belongs to the honeyeater family. Initially I thought it was a blue faced honeyeater until I saw it through the magnification of the big lens. Had lots of other things to shoot Jo so not too disappointed about the birds.

Getting them in the open is half the battle. Nice clean shot Gabby.

Thanks Mick. Need to get out and practice bird shots more in better light - but damn it gets bright here early in summer.
