Because I have a number of Grevilleas planted in my garden I have a number of honey eating birds all year round. However, the White-throated Honeyeater (Melithreptus albogularis) only comes intermittently and I am never quite sure when they will appear in the garden again. More recently they have been coming whenever it was wet and windy - definitely not the weather to take the camera outside! So when they came into the trees the other day and it was fine and sunny I dropped what I was doing and went outside. They stayed just long enough for me to get a few pictures and now - once again! - they have gone.

What a colorful little bird, it kinda reminds me of a woodpecker, only yellow instead of red.
This is an interesting looking bird. Beautiful closeups!

Great work. You must have been so pleased to have noticed them when you did. Lovely photos!

You got some truly great shots! Such cute looking birds! We have the bee-eaters throughout summer but I don't think I've seen honey-eaters.
Now that's a lovely bird -- the male is spectacular!
