Along the Track: Feeding Frenzy #2

Posted in Along the Track, Spiny-cheeked HoneyeaterTagged , 6 Comments

I showed the Black-faced Cuckooshrikes last week.

Here are some of the Spiny-cheeked Honeyeaters from the same time and location.

Checked back the other day, after about a week. All the bushes are pretty well stripped, except for one isolated bush in the middle of the paddock. For some reason it hasn’t been touched.

The Spiny-cheeked are still in residence, but the Cuckoo-shrikes have moved elsewhere

Enjoy

There is enough for everyone
Liked the spotlight effect on this one
They seem fearless about moving through the thorns
Not often I’d see a closeup portrait
Thorns? What Thorns?
Tasty
Such a fine looking bird
When not feeding they were working through the leaves on the trees
Another pause for a portrait
Showing off the Spiny cheek
I wish I knew what this was about, but didn’t realise the other bird was well inside the leaves until I followed this one as it landed.
