Eastern Spinebill

One from last week - one of our small honeyeater species here in southern Australia. This is a threat pose as another bird landed on a nearby branch out of frame. Thanks for looking, Greg.

Hi Greg,

Lovely image with the vegetation framing the subject. The flash worked well in putting some pop in the subject's feathers................Jim

I really admire this and other works you have submitted, Greg. You always seem to have subject and supporting habitat so carefully composed. This is high craft! devil

Really stunning image Greg! I have always liked your setups, but this one takes the cake. I think the flaired tail feathers with the head turn and extended tongue make the comp perfect. Really terrific image. Probably one of my top 3 favorites I have seen from your posts (and that's a bold statement considering your body of work).
