I have been remiss

Jan 24, 2011 17:59

With Aikidomayland's on vacation, and DSLR instructions (with me tagging along for moral support mostly) I haven't been posting often. I have been taking some fantastic photos myself, but haven't really had the sit down time to sift through them ( Read more... )

photography, birds

The little guy is a Brown Honeyeater.

Thanks! Now, I have to get a clearer shot of the Striated Pardalote. They also prefer to come to the birdbath in the afternoon and I have yet to get a clean photo.

Ha! I thought it was either a Yellow or a Brown Honeyeater. *feels validated*

Yellow Honeyeaters are a northern Queensland species though. ;)

I saw the yellow patches on the wings and thought, yeah, probably a BHE. Upon enlarging the photo though you can see the yellow patches behind the eyes really well as well.

Hoorah for birdies!

Ahh, I just did some desultory searching on Wiki about it. Didn't see any info about Yellows being a QLD species though.

Of course, I *was* mostly looking at the pictures...

Also: Honeyeaters are awesome. As are New Hollands, and Wattlebirds, and Mag-Larks, and, and, and...
