Bellbird

Today @dide and @rustymonkey and I went to an Island Open Santuary just off the Coast of Auckland. We had a fantastic day and saw so many birds that we do not see regularly, as soon as we got off the boat I was amazed by the bird song.. This is a bell bird, just a small birdthat darts around and sings it is in the Honey eater family..

Fantastic shot. I have heard bellbirds lots of times, but never seen one close up. Well spotted. Got to be a fav not only because it is an excellent picture, but for capturing it in the first place.

@onewing Thanks Babs we saw heaps of them but they were so hard to capture..

[Tony]
