It's a bit of a challenge for me to catch a pic of the smaller honey-eaters, they flit from flower to flower speedily making it difficile to focus, so am delighted when I snap a half decent shot. Spotted the white-cheeked honeyeater feasting on the nectar of one of the many species of banksia flowers early morning in Kings Park. Every now and then its head would disappear completely into the flower, I could almost hear mmmmmyum 🍯 Pretty little creature isn't it! Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe..
...the bird is new to me, but the banksias are not.
ReplyDeleteSo cute Grace. I get lots of them in my garden, but they are so fast it's difficult to catch them.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful little bird and you got a fantastic shot of it. That is one of many things I enjoy about going to the botanical garden. Watching the little birds enjoying the fruits of nature.

That's a new one to me. Never seen a White-Cheeked Honey-Eater before, though there are plenty of Red-Cheeked Beer-Drinkers around the village!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty bird!
ReplyDeleteHe's a sweet one!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty little bird! It seems to be posing for you in the first shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of the illusive little bird. Interesting flower also.
ReplyDeleteIt has a nice long beak for nectar gathering.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty wee bird. Nice shots, Grace.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutie-pie, Grace - and that flower, wow!!! Good job! (you)
ReplyDeleteGood shots! What a cool looking bird. Very nicely colored with a perfect beak for nectar hunting.
ReplyDeleteWow - amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhite-cheeked honeyeater and Banksia!
ReplyDeleteThere are your great jobs!!
Well done. This looks like the New Holland Honeyeaters we have around here. Your photos sent me scampering off to see if I had identified mine properly ... I had not heard of the White Cheeked one before.
ReplyDeleteMuito bonita esta sequência de fotografias e aproveito para desejar a continuação de uma boa semana.

Looks like you have paradise birds nearby.
ReplyDeleteIt is so difficult to make photos of birds, they never are quiet to pose. But you managed very well!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore the flora and fauna of Australia. These photos are amazing! What a unique bird.
