At long last I was finally able to get a shot of one of our most common birds, the Singing Honeyeater. This little nectar loving insectivore landed on a dead tree branch a few feet from me whilst I was sitting (patiently) waiting for some Osprey action. Singing Honeyeaters are the ones who set up an alarm call when any predator is approaching and everything ducks for cover, including the Butcherbirds, when in fact the alarm call may be alerting others to the Butcher Bird's presence.
