Went for a walk today, found this small chap enjoying some nectar. Started raining so sadly packed up and went home :(.

Great shot, beautifully clear and I know they're very fast and difficult to photograph.

It's always a treat to see great shots of a bird I've never seen before.

I've heard of most of the Australian birds (I've even visited Oz and viewed many firsthand).. but I've never of a Tasmainian Silveryey.. Thanks for posting...

Great shots. How do you get them to stay still for so long?

It was hard getting a good angle on this hyperactive little guy they really are quite fast. A very small bird about the same size as a Mannikin or small Finch. They can be a problem bird at times as they sometimes raid orchards. They live an amazing amount of time for such a small bird, I read that one was found alive and well 10 years after banding. Glad you all enjoyed them :)

These are awesome. I sometimes see silvereyes around here, but haven't even tried to get photos of them !
