World Bird Wednesday - A new Visitor

This little sweetie was grazing in the little tree just outside my

room. The nearest identification I could find is a female Gilbert's

Whistler, Pachycephala inornata, about the size of a New Holland

Honey-eater. I hope Stewart M or Tony C can double check for me.

The markings on the flight feathers were quite distinctive

and the pale eye-ring as well.

Here is just one more shot for good measure. I found her

quite charming.

Thank you Stewart M for confirming my initial ID at the top

of this post.

All enlarge of course.

BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY WEEKLY ~ 7 Flame Robins

Late afternoon on Mt.Baw Baw in the
Victorian Alps, I spotted this little fellow.
I only had my normal lens, so it was sweet
of him to let me get so close.

After a snowfall over night, his
Mrs. came to visit our lodge.



She was as cute as she could stare.
