Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater

Description

Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater (Acanthagenys rufogularis) is found across Australia, often in arid areas. A couple of them have recently started visiting my garden and finally, after several attempts, I have managed to capture this one today. They seem to be very suspicious, always on their guard and sing a beautiful song.

Absolutely beautiful capture, Stan. The lighting is perfect, and so is his location, right there on an open branch. I've not seen one of these honeyeaters before, he sure is a lovely specimen! (Yes, and I'd love to see more of your works too!) #10091464
