New Holland Honeyeater

I took a trip (in the heat) to the botanic gardens today and now have fresh photographic material to share!
This is a New Holland Honeyeater. Only spied because it was making its characteristic chatter.
Rather than crop it down, I was rather taken by the gum leaves and bokeh.
