    I'd been wanting a picture of the jacaranda in flower, but as it's not a native Australian plant I didn't take one. However, when you see a load together in bloom, it's really such a lovely sight. Here a Blue-faced Honeyeater is feeding on the nectar of a tree... at last I had an excuse to...

    Stunning blue make-up on these guys don't you think LOL A Blue-faced Honeyeater decided to hang out on the rotary drier, but he had to move as Judy and I had lots of washing to do following our trip away.

    Foraging in pairs

    The next day we set off deep into the Queensland Outback, crossing the Bunya Mountains. A long, long drive, so we set off early, as soon as it was light enough to see. We stopped for fuel and a cuppa at a place called Moonie, and I spotted these Blue-faced Honeyeaters, up on a tree branch...

    .... I couldn't see, it was behind the hedge, but something had startled this Blue-faced Honeyeater!

    Start of a new adventure

    We left Bribie at around 9am and set off to outback country, when I was handed over into the care of Hans and Judy Beste. One of the first birds there was a Blue-faced Honeyeater on their garden fence post.

    A splash of blue

    While sitting on the bench watching the Osprey action, I realised there were things going on in the trees on the other side of the road, where there was a long layby. So I toddled over there for a look-see. The sun was very bright and it was hot making some of the leaves look completely white...

    By now we'd worked our way back to the Trading Post at Maidenwell for a rather welcome cuppie. The garden out the back had some beautiful Jacaranda trees in bloom (they seemed to be in flower all over Queensland!) and this Blue-faced Honeyeater looked perfect in their with his own colouring to...

    There is no other honeyeater like the Blue-faced, and after my first sighting was able to pick them out quite easily! That blue face patch is so striking, isn't it.

    There must be something in the air I think. For here's another honeyeater poking out his tongue.

    The following day we were off early on a long adventure, heading into the deep Queensland Outback for a few days. We stopped at a small town called Moonie for fuel and a leg stretch. I saw a Rainbow Bee-eater up on a wire, but for some reason couldn't focus on it. Then in a nearby tree found...

    ..... and here was an old friend - a Blue-faced Honeyeater, so they live out here, as well as on the coast! Although I'd seen some before, this was actually my first decent picture of one, so the first to get uploaded to my Gallery

    Seen in better light than the ones I snapped around sunset on my first day in Darwin. I'm not sure exactly where I took today's three shots. It was somewhere on our way to Fogg Dam. I'll get back to more Fogg Dam shots in a bit.
