Rufous-banded Honeyeater (Conopophila albogularis) Eden B&B nr Fogg Dam NT
Canon EOS 40D Lens 100-400mm L IS USM at 235 mm ISO 400 F5.6 1/640 fill flash 4 September 2009
Taken at the delightful Eden B&B near (2 klms away) Fogg Dam and thoroughly recommended as Heather Boulden & Jeremy Hemphill who run this place are warm, friendly and thoroughly switched on to bird watchers and naturalists in general. This Rufous-banded Honeyeater was captured as it came into a watering spot outside our room.
Thank you for viewing
Best regards

Thank you all for your kind comments. Had a great time at this spot as it so near to our famed Fogg Dam, which became a highlight of our 90 day field trip. As always though the shots you missed always bother you so it was nice to get a surprise when things go well !!
Thanks again
Rod
