Silvereye

This is a common little white-eye here in south-eastern Australia.
I'm pretty sure this is a male & female (on the right).
Thanks for looking, Greg.

It's a great shot, Greg, but what I like most is how distinctive your shooting style has become. You consistently have a kind of Audubon-like bird poses in your shot that is quite good and very distinctive.

Beautiful little pair, Greg. Nice perch and well diffused and complimentary BG.

GREAT to catch 2 of them, both sharp and cool poses.
BG and branches are a plus -
fine image!

Nice one Greg - well done getting two sharp in the same frame. You're a better man than me picking male and female

Oh my goodness, Greg, this is really beautiful, though that's hardly new coming from you! Gorgeous colours, beautiful perch, pose, and details. Wonderful overall colours palette. It's a classic in my books, anyway, though I know it joins a robust collection of beautiful and often downright stunning images from you.
