Yellow-faced Honeyeater

thanks for id Peter taken in terrible weather

I was expecting another bird to land on this perch, but out of nowhere this little honeyeater landed and asked: "may I?". Well, I didn't mind and he took off immediately after I pressed the shutter button. "See you next time", - I said.

I can't resist another Yellow-faced catching the late afternoon sun.

Lot's of Yellow-faced around at the moment.

Will be away with Hans and Judy out bush for a week or so. Catch up when we return hopefully with some different material. Ken

Just back from a few days on the Gold Coast and the Tweed River (after a work conference). Had a wonderful time on Fingal Head/Letitia spit and in the Ukerebagh Nature Reserve, where we found a few of these little beauties this morning before getting on the plane to fly home.

It's always so difficult to photo this species... for me anyway... so I was pleased to get this shot taken in the Blue Mountains of NSW. Photos of its amazingly delicate nest can be seen on my blog at http://topbirdsandeveryfing.typepad.com/top-birds-everyfing/

I found it quite hard to get a shot of these birds, they were zooming around everywhere!
