    Default Eastern Spinebill

    Been pretty busy lately but managed to get out for a few hours last weekend.
    Spring is awesome here as all the native wattle species bloom and there are splashes of bright yellow all through the forests and gardens.

    Thanks for looking, Greg.

    Another GO gem !! Spot one a mile off !. I don't normally go for plain backdrops but this hits you between the eys.
    Feel like saying "follow that" !!

    A gem is right...or maybe another gem would be more appropriate. The pose is spectacular as is your perch and BG.

    Just gorgeous -- the colors are well-handled (it's too easy to let yellows get out of control) and the detail and sharpness are wonderful!

    Hi Greg, tack, tack sharp, and I like the various colours on this fellow. Well framed between the foliage, and once again, great flashwork.

    Congrats on the win last saturday. It was close.
