Macro of a mustard flower set against a clear blue sky – Brassica juncea, Brassica nigra
This very attractive little bird is a Phylidonyris nigra (White-cheeked Honeyeater) , a native of Australia and very common in my neck of the woods due to the proliferation of Banksia and Grevillea trees in the region which are the bird’s main food source and habitat. The photograph was made in the heath land off the main track along the Ocean Drive Fire Trail in the Queen’s Lake Nature Reserve near North Haven, about a twenty five minute drive south of Port Macquarie beaches, NSW, Australia, on a stormy autumn afternoon. These birds keep a “safety zone” between themselves and any stalking photographers of about 5 to 6 meters ( 15 to 20 feet) and while they will keep within the foliage most of the time, occasionally curiosity overcomes them and they will pop out onto a nearside branch or up on the top of the bush to take a peek. I had to use my camera’s 300mm 10.7x Zoom lens to the limit for this shot and was quite fortunate to have sufficient light for the shutter speed as at full stretch my Fuji will only open up to f/4.9. I had a lot of fun with the 20 or so birds that were in the little area in which I was standing and bagged this shot near the end of my session when they finally came as close to me as they dared.

I you like it.
during my holidays I’ve visited a zoo where I found this Galapagos tortoise. / this fella was really fun to watch, as a small bee was sitting right on its nose and the turtle desperately tried to get rid of it – obviously it was tickeling its nose…. anyway, the bee stayed where it was, the turtle took it with the wisdom of age, and in the end the two became friends…or it seemd like it location: Happ’s Reptilienzoo Klagenfurt / Canon EOS 40D / Canon 70-300 IS USM @ 130mm / 1/500s, f/5, ISO 320
