New Holland Honey Eaters enjoying a bath

these little birds love to congregate at bathtime but are always on the alert and one false move by the photographer and they are gone.

Great shot. They look like little statues - part of the bird bath.

[Rosemary]

You did very well then to capture all three

[Sam]

Superb capture of the 3 of them! They are super fast ;)

Great shot. The birds are a little skittish in my area too.

I have never seen these birds either. I love their patterns with the bird feeder. Fav.

[Dione Giorgio]

Love the alert look in their eyes. gorgeous shot.

[Carole Imes]

I have never seen these type of birds. Love those eyes that have a look of surprise. Fabulous capture, Christ!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

They do have a rather startled look to their expressions, but perhaps they were born looking concerned. :) Amazing markings these birds have.

[Chris Johnson]

Love their cool eyes and pattern of their feathers! Nicely shot.

[Richard Sayer]

Never even heard of these before - they look to be full of character and that comes through in this nice nature portrait. Nicely done, Chris.

My goodness! thanks for putting these little birds on the Trending Page. sometimes there can be as many as a dozen sitting round the bird bath but you have to be quick with the camera to catch them. Thanks so much for the favs too very encouraging

[Nefrit]

@nefrit thankyou! I enjoy sharing bird pictures - if they stay still enough for me to capture them :)
