Scarlet Honeyeater (male)

I photographed this fellow in an aviary at the Reptile Park - there was a feeder with a variety of bird food in it and the birds would fly in and out - I focused my camera on the entry perch and just waited patiently as the birds flew in and out - I also just sat on the seat near the aviary - which was hidden away in the quiet of the bush - and enjoyed watching and listening to the birds - there were quite a few different species flying free outside the aviary too - it was a most pleasant way to spend an hour or so.
wow! vividly gorgeous. all the birds here are fairly plain
