New Holland Honeyeaters

Phylidonyris novaehollandiae.

Yesterday. It's a shame the 3rd bird didn't cooperate with the composition. They didn't hang around long as a Wattle Bird sent them packing.



D90 300mm f/4 Tripod. f/4 1/1000 500 ISO. Strong back light again, so processing was a pain

I want your grass tree!!!. Very nice, just a pity about the third bird.

yep, that tree just keeps on giving. amazing separation from the background, birds almost look pasted on. agree that the 3rd bird lets this down too. great light and details etc in this on though. good work

Thanks you two. Patience - maybe next time - but I think the nectar flow has stopped

I haven't seen any birds on the flowers for a couple of days now

[avkomp]

you could of course drizzle some honey down the back side?

Good point
