Blue Faced Honeyeater

A fairly typical pose for these birds. They spend a lot of time squawking at things, especially rainbow lorikeets, but rarely do anything to follow up on the threats. They are quite pretty in their own way though. See flip side at http://365project.org/terryliv/directors-cut/2014-04-03

He is a beauty! But he does look like he is doing a lot of squawking!!!!

[sally agnew]

Looks like he is in full squawk, great image:-)

[Kane Arlow]

Great capture, sounds like they don't spend much time being still.

[Denise Wood]

Obviously still enough for a flip side photo!! Great shot :)

[Helen Michelle D]

Poppo you have some great birds!! I see Jackdaws mostly!

[Emilie Cartoun]

Wow! Gorgeous bird!

[Candace]

Very pretty if not a strange looking bird!

[Shelley]

He has beautiful coloring. nice capture.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Okay, this is way better than flattened lizard. Chuckle-chuckle about these guys not following up on their threats. They're just all talk and no go, huh? Well, they look good while squawking.

[Shirley Banford]

Great pose for your shot. Nice catch.

[Ann]

Great shot!!and pretty color!!

[Ron]

I hope we don't see a flat version of this guy tomorrow. Interesting contrast when viewed from the two different angles. From above he looks like Flounder from the Little Mermaid, and from below a bit like the gas tank of my motorcylce. Good camouflage.

[Kevin Krueger]

You guys have the coolest birds! Nicely taken Terry!

[Richard Hoeg]

Neat! Do they actually eat honey out hives?

[Richard Hoeg]

With the international date line, my comment comes after Kevin's ... but in the past ... or was his in the future! LOL.

[Islandgirl]

Very cool bird.......love the colours!

[Babs]

Nice shot. The rainbow lorikeets always win in any fight between them here. Like you say they don't follow up.

[Rick Schies]

They are quite neat to see

[Denis]

A great shot......I see them here but haven't captured one yet.

[Kim]

Not a familiar bird for me, but love the sunshiny yellow with the dab of blue.

[Susan C Clow]

What a beautiful bird and a great capture of it. Looks like he is singing.

[Poppo Livy]

@onewing Hey Babs, My wife just saw a blue face grab a rainbow by the wing and drag it off the feed mix. Far Out

[Keith Porteous]

Great shot. These guys are first rate hit and run thieves at the local cafés and restaurants, don't look away or your snack will go!

[Babs]

@terryliv Wow, brave bird. Never seen that before, That would have been a picture!!!

[Poppo Livy]

@kporte That's interesting Keith because the ones that visit our yard are really timid. Look sideways at them and they are off.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Thanks for the two-dimensional promise.
