Waiting his turn..

From history to the present - I put sugar water in the wisteria pot and the birds loved the pruned branches, Its plenty of places to perch and wait!
This is another of the wee ring-eyes that flock for my food. John calls them, ‘my family’!
Three good things;
1. The World Cup Sevens Rugby competition was on in San Francisco and NZ won the top spot in both men and women’s teams.
2. Failure in the kitchen - slow cooker was too slow. Never mind, I’l give ‘em hell tomorrow!
3. Got a book I’ve been waiting for for a year or two - finally reached our library!

[Pat Knowles]

What a pretty bird sitting in the matching tree! Amazing how this branches stand out like a 3D picture. Well done NZ hey! Always good competitors.

[Daisy Miller]

Lovely shot. I am glad that the book you were waiting for arrived in the library.

These little birds have to be one of my top favourites on this site:)

[KWind]

Pretty focus and framing.

[Bep]

Beautiful little bird.

[Phil Howcroft]

awwww way too cute .

[Babs]

He is patiently waiting his turn. I see from your tag that you have given the different names for this bird. We call them silver eye here. Not easy to photograph either, David chased one for ages before managing to get a decent photo of him.

Delightful image fav

[Julie Duncan]

Sweet!

[Islandgirl]

Pretty bird!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great shot of this cute little fellow. And I agree with Pat- this shot has a really cool 3D effect thanks to where he's sitting on those branches.

@grammyn Potatoes which are not cooked properly are not nice, Katy!

[bkb in the city]

Great capture

[Maggiemae]

@happypat @olivetreeann Thanks Pat and Ann! I used portrait style settings for this which blurred everything that wasn't in focus.!

[Beryl Lloyd]

A beautiful image , the little ring eyed really pops !

[Maggiemae]

@beryl The only bird I know that has this white ring around the eye, Beryl but then I don't know all the birds in the world!

[Valerie Chesney]

Oh, so delightful, we have no tiny birds here as our Lorikeets frighten them away...this is lovely.

[Myrna O'Hara]

This is a gorgeous bird. Haven't ever seen one of these before.

[Leslie]

[Lou Ann]

This is lovely. Well I just don’t know what a wisteria pot is. I know what a wisteria shrub is, though. You are much more patient than I am, waiting a year or two for a book! Oh my!

[Maggiemae]

@louannwarren A bit confusing i must admit, Lou Ann! I have a honey pot hung on the wisteria!

[Lou Ann]

@maggiemae oh! Ha ha!
