Happy New Year

What a way to start the New Year. Walk out on the verandah to have a cup of tea and see the Golden Shower in the back yard alive with birds. Scarlet Honeyeater, Brown Honeyeater, Rainbow Lorikeet, Noisy Miner and Noisy Friarbird.

    Wow!! Neil you'd hardly miss this beautiful bird in that tree!! What a fantastic backdrop for your photograph of him; I think these honey-eaters are super special; well done.

    Great photos - I love the contrasting scarlet on the bird and gold of the flowers. I wish we could get some of your rain down this way! Happy New Year to you!

    The honeyeater is such a nice looking bird - not seen one in a couple of years - not the right part of the country!
