A new honeyeater

A new honeyeater (Myzomela sanguinolenta)

You should have seen the first picture I got of this guy... hadn't a clue what it could be just I'd know it was different (... can see a SF picture coming;))

When he emerged properly into my vision, it turned into this beauty, a Scarlet Myzomela. It's also known as Scarlet Honeyeater

Sadly he was only there for a couple of pictures but I was quite pleased with this one.

I like the way the shadows complement the picture Delia. A brilliant well lit and colourfully posed capture, well done.
