This handsome fellow was waiting his turn at the feeder while two others argue about something. The Tuis soon chase the little Silvereyes away, but we don't mind as they soon come back.

After using the feeder they spend a lot of time with their ablutions!

Absolutely outstanding. So much detail and narrow DOF. Great set.

All excellent shots, Ricardo. But that first one is outstanding.
You better watch out, the birding bug is very addictive:D


I prefer to be in the bush with the animals than a crowded city.

Excellent, sharp pics of a brilliant bird. I was wonder about the name but it quickly becomes clear when seeing your great photos :)

Thank you all very much. I must say they are a real joy as they come and go outside my office. They move so fast and mostly only stay still for a moment or two. There tend to be a lot of failures...blurred wings and tails disappearing from the frame, or total misses!
