Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater

This is a reasonably common honeyeater in Australia south of the tropic of Capricorn, and most prolific in drier woodlands.
Thanks for looking, Greg.

Good one, Greg. Love the light, inquisitive pose, perch and bg. No nits.

Hi Greg, lots of colour and detail to look at on this fellow, especially the way he has posed. Well placed in the frame looking out into space, and I do like the smooth BG.

A striking bird well photographed. Sharp and very colorful, great bg.

Oh wow, never seen anything like that Greg!

Smooth, but not monotone background is a big plus. I don't think you could have placed him in a better location on the perch.

I agree with every compliment offered thus far. Gorgeous image of a pretty spectular looking bird, never mind how common or uncommon it is. I've no suggestions for improvement. The image is perfect imo.
