Ooooh!!! Lovely!!!

Thanks Matt... that's taken me straight back to the Botanical Gardens at Port Augusta, where I saw my first one. Such a lovely honeyeater this one and you've taken a terrific picture of him too.

BTW I've corrected a very tiny spelling error in the scientific name you used, hope you don't mind.

Beautiful close-up of this Honeyeater. Great lighting showing marvelous colors, feather detail, and eye contact. Top-marks Matt!

A good photo Matt but I'm sure that its actually a Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater, Acanthagenys rufogularis. Cheers.
