Along the Track: Feeding Frenzy #2

Posted in Along the Track, Spiny-cheeked HoneyeaterTagged ,

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.

  2. Beautiful captures David, so good to have a great feeding bush to see so many. They seem to have an almost angry or at least very concerned look in their facial expressions similar to the Scrubbies. Its heating up here, hottest days for this time of year, hope some of the warmth and fine weather reaches you soon.
