Yellow Breasted honeyeater

This little fellow has a long
beak so he can delve into flowers
to drink the nectar.
This image was taken on Horn Island, in the
Torres Strait off the coast of far
northern Queensland.

Nikon D600
1/1000s f/5.3 at 230.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Well spotted and captured Elaine. I have not spotted one yet!

Dear Michael, Torres Strait is so close to PNG that you can see the coast.
The fishing is excellent.

Well, a bird I have never heard of in a place I have never heard of...quite the experience in education. Great shot, Elaine. I love this colorful image.

thank you so much, Terry and Hal.
He was a regular visitor to the pool area as I
relaxed around the pool.

Exciting image, Elaine. Wonderful bird. We have nothing like it here in the US.

A wonderful shot Elaine, of a bird l've never seen before.
ls the lower bill extra long or is that its tongue
or something stuck onto the it ?
Lovely shot of a tropical bird !
