L.J.G. "Not brigth enough"  More info | Oct 30, 2011 15:08 | #1 Juvenile Blue-Faced Honeyeater. When he reaches adulthood the luminous green will turn to a beautiful luminous dark blue. He led me on a merry chase for over half an hour to get this shot. I kept losing him, then finding him, he was playing hide and seek with me. Shot with my 50D, Sigma 150-500 using the 580 ex flash.

Yes, I was pretty cranky with myself about that but he was quite a fast little sucker, he did not stay long anytime he spotted me, which was every time he stopped! Lloyd
