Waxeyes.Breakfast...

I have been waiting for these little guys to come a feed on the Aloe flowers ever since they first appeared ... And this morning they were having a field day on them.. drinking the nectar and chasing each other .. Managed to catch this little fellow still for a few seconds..

The Waxeye are also known as Silvereye and White eye and Maori name is Tauhou which means Stranger or New Arrival... They were self introduced and first noted in 1832 and are found most parts of New Zealand ...

Oh well done, they aren't easy to photograph. David chased one through bushland for ages once before he got a decent shot.

This is pretty impressive - nice lighting to show the wax eye and the flowers. Orchardists don't like these cute little fellows, as they peck holes in the fruit. Fav
