An attractive looking bird there Russell. Your shots work well against the pink blossom.

What a beauty he is! I like the shot of him sampling the nectar of those lovely pink blossoms :)

Thanks for your comments everyone. I used a Nikon D300 with Nikkor 80-400mm VR lens and I think it's a peach tree....but I'd better check. It was late winter in Australia..end of July. Spring there now!

I love all your pictures! It would be nice you give more technical informations about the camera you use, the settings... But thanks for sharing!

These are beautiful photos of the Juv Blue-Faced honeyeater in the Peach Blossom. Stunning. We have been lucky to have these birds visit out patch recently also, after not seeing them here for years.
