Great shots. Is that a New Holland Honeyeater ?

[stoneylonesome]

Beautiful shots. love the bird. :)

[Mitcon]

Yes it is a New Holland Honeyeater, quite a common bird but I love watching them. I have dozens of them in the trees around my house. Some days you should hear the noise 20-30 of them can make lol. They can be a pain to photograph for me as they never sit still for a second even, so darn hyperactive lol. Nice little birds though.

The only honeyeaters I see around here on a regular basis are Nosiy Friarbirds - and they live up to their name (noisy). They also never sit still :-)

[Mitcon]

Are they the larger ones around 30 odd cm with the little nob on the top part of their beak and almost no plumage on the head ?

[RockOne]

Yep. Thats them (Philemon corniculatus),
