White-cheeked & Brown Honeyeaters

I don't think I've seen either. I know for sure I haven't seen the white cheeks. There's a fellow at work who, I discovered today, is an avid 'birder'. He'll know where to find them down here. I'd love to go out spotting with him. I might have a clunky little camera, but I have an awesome set of Pentax field binoculars.

Thanks Neil. Which species haven't you seen? I'm sure they'd both be around Brissie.

I've never seen this species of honeyeater before. Awesome photos, Shanna.

AWESOME SHOT@!!!

Thank you Leanne, Maria and gatorfellows! It was so lovely. They haven't been back since then, they must have just needed it during the heatwave!

great photos :)

Wonderful sight and how nice that the birds could enjoy the bucket of water!

Fantastic pics Shanna! Those White-cheeked Honeyeaters are beautiful. Mother Nature must love you & NathBig, you are so kind to her babies :)

Thanks everyone! It was lovely having them come to the yard like that. I will definitely go looking for a decent bird bath. : )

Great series Shanna!

Very nice Shanna! The birds are getting a needed break from the heat. Here I have the opposite problem, this morning it was -10C and the birds are using the heated birdbath to drink from.

+1 for a bird bath... a wide shallow one. In this one they seem to be discussing how to reach down. :)

Fun spotting. I believe you don't mind all their chit-chat :-)

Lauren - I think a bird bath is a great idea!!!! And thank you Mac and kd.

Brilliant Shanna!

Nice one Shanna

Amazing! The birds must all love your pond when it is hot! Maybe if you put in a perchable bird-bath you could see even more birds!
