World Bird Wednesday & Nature Notes - White-Plumed Honeyeater


Nothing spectacular today, just a White-Plumed Honeyeater,
Lichenostomus penicillatus, that spends its summers on our
farm darting around at high speed.


photographed in our wild wood across the creek with shadows
everywhere.



For a better view it can be enlarged.

Thanks to World Birds Wednesday for providing this venue to show our birds,
and to Rambling Woods for Nature notes. Both can be accesses by clicking on
the respective Logos.

  5. That's a bird I have never seen! Nice photos - it's never easy to get good ones when the bird is in amongst the branches.

  6. Happy New Year Arija, lovely little bird images~ I have been bummed up with a very bad knee for some time now and then computer and phones were out 4 days. Hoping things begin to get better quickly~

  11. I always enjoy the birds that do not visit my part of the world. This one has a brush of green on wing and tail that is unusual in my area.
