As luck would have it, when I looked at this on my
screen, I realised I got two for one!
While the Honeyeater was concerned with a Wattlebird
muscling in on the same Grevillea bush, the little Yellow
Rumped Thornbill was foraging in the safety of his loud
presence.
After a while the Honeyeater obviously realised he
was not alone but chose to ignore the little fellow,
while loudly protesting the presence of the larger bird.
To finish off, a blur in flight....
Check out the Logo for a wealth of beautiful birds!
Oh, that is marvelous to find the wattlebird there! It is a delight to observe the birds in the wild. I am fascinated just watching the warblers build their nests in our neighbor's tree. Our birds in the backyard are gone, the extreme heat must have driven them away.
ReplyDeleteI hear you. I really hear you and I am listening. 6 weeks sounds very long, 1.5 months is better. Only someone I love may use the word "idiotic" and make me smile instead of fume. :)
I love it, I just love it ... the last sentence ..."a blur in flight"
ReplyDeleteOh give me a world full of birds ...
Thanks for the visit and the well-wishes. No more turning back Arija. But I love to be called "Old Woman" lol
Looks rather like our northern Yellow-Rumped Warbler!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little bird, it took me a minute to see the other one!
ReplyDeleteSunny :)
We don't have those down south but what a beautiful bird; beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteHe is a beautiful fellow. I think photographing birds is very difficult. You have done well.
ReplyDeleteA great set of photos and a nice tekst to them, Arija!
ReplyDeleteTaking birds' photos is a hard work, indeed. I know it from my own experience. I have only managed to take photos of pigeons, sparrow and magpie so far. I like that cute little bird and the yellow color on its wings. This is another beautiful series of photos that I really enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteHi. Thanks for dropping by my blog. You guys are lucky to see birds flying freely from your part of the world. I seldom see birds like these unless I go to a zoo.
ReplyDeleteYou did get two for one! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bird the Honeyeater is!
ReplyDeleteGreat captures and luck to get more than what you thought.
ReplyDeleteArija: Certainly a beautiful bird and you got some neat photos.
ReplyDeleteSo excellent! What a lovely bird.
ReplyDeleteWonderful series of photos. Such a happy surprise to see the other little bird. Thank you also for commenting on my 'uh-oh' post. Really appreciate the in-put.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely birds, especially the honeyeater with the streak of yellow on its breast. Seeing them in their natural habitat intensifies their beauty all the more.
ReplyDeleteA very delightful bird. Thanks for showing.
ReplyDeleteLove the "blur in flight"...one can almost feel those flapping wings trembling in air :)
ReplyDeleteLovely shot of the Honeyeater and you even got a bonus!!
ReplyDeleteA nice set of photos. Bird interaction is so interesting. I watched the Lorikeets and Blue-faced Honeyeaters disagreeing about their space the other day and meanwhile a Brown Honeyeater flew in and out ignored by both.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous captures as always, Arija! And what a lovely little bird. I, too, love the "a blur in flight", perfect!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week!
Sylvia
These pictures are great.The birds remind me of some of our warblers.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth
Great capture Arija! It's interesting how many things we don't see when we are photographing birds. I often find other birds and creatures in the photos I take. What a great surprise!
