Something you may not know about me is that I love birds. I am a 'bird watcher' and can distinguish the sound of quite a few birds. I'm not as good as my brother Joe or sister Annette, but I know enough birds to be able to get a thrill when I go for a walk outdoors. Graham Pizzey & Frank Knight's Field Guide to the Birds of Australia is one of my favourite books and it is never very far away from me.Today I had the joy of watching a mother Yellow Honeyeater (Lichenostomus flavus) feed her baby after the heavy rain. They darted in and around the front and backyard early this morning and now this afternoon. I don't have a flash camera, but my little digital took these shots and while I haven't recorded their beautiful sound, you can get a glimpse of their beauty.
Did I happen to mention that I love birds?

Yes I do believe that is a Yellow Honeyeater! Well spotted. I love the honeyeaters as they've so much class compared to the sparrow and the myna. Keep twitching Bub
