White-throated Honeyeaters

This post is for World Bird Wednesday

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.

White-throated Honeyeater

This is my first post for World Bird Wednesday. Go there to see a great variety of birds.

A few months ago White-throated Honeyeaters (Melithreptus albogularis) were frequent visitors to my garden but then they went away. Over the last few weeks I have seen them again but only when it was wet and windy. On good days when the photos would have been so much better they were nowhere to be seen! They seem to like the Hibiscus flowers or to hide up in the Callistemons.
