    I cropped this as close as I could to see if the wee drops of water on his head would show. Maybe you need better eyes than mine though!! Doesn't he look delightful in there.

    Alex and June have a really healthy population of birds in the garden, particularly the beautiful little Silvereyes. Not a Lifer, of course, as I'd seen my first one at in Brisbane, all those weeks ago with Ken. But previously I'd really only seen singletons, not groups such as this little bunch.

    Of all the gorgeous birds I saw in Australia, I think these must be way into the top 10 of my favourites. Such pretty wee things with the most remarkable eye make-up and so active and agile too! What a joy it was to see a pair of Silvereyes at the water hole.

    Wish my silver looked that bright!! We'd got to the edge of a block of trees and watched this delightful Silvereye feeding on a low tree. What a delightful moment this was.

    Umm... another silvereye. Backyard currently gets the sparrow, blackbird, dunnock, mynah, song thrush, starling, dove, silvereye and tui, plus the odd pigeon who is looking to hook up with the dove it seems, ohh and the fantail comes by as well.

    Then a large flock of Silvereyes landed in a pine, alternating between that and some sort of acacia (?) that was in flower. They were very busy foraging and hard to keep in the viewfinder, but by sheer numbers and persistence I got some shots. This one was the most fun of those, I think.

    It's not easy to photograph these shy, fast moving little birds. I had to resort to setting up the hide near our daughter's bird bath.

    The Silvereyes were easy to find, flocking to flowering trees bringing constant tinklebell chatter. But they were busy wee things and the trees were twiggy and dense with blossoms and leaves ... and bugs presumably, since that's what Silvereyes eat. Anyway, it was sometimes hard to get good...

    A set of Silvereye photos today. I gather these are not endemics, but immigrated from Asia on at least partially on their own.

    I wonder how long before the splitters turn their attention to Silvereye? This is the Fijian subspecies, Zosterops lateralis flaviceps
