Thingumy Bird

Thingumy Bird

Uploaded: November 10, 2005

Description

f/3.5, 250th, 70-200 L 2.8.
Took this picture mid morning on a glorious day in Adelaides Botanic Gardens (South Australia). It flew past me and perched in this Plane tree and happily allowed me to take 3-4 shots before moving on. I've no idea as to the type (despite them being very common locally) - so it's a thingumy bird :-)

Dad has educated me - it's a Noisy Miner apparently. So there we go :-)

You dad beat me to it Graham. It's a Noisy Miner, a Honey Eater. We have them in colonies. Pesky things. Very aggressive and chase small birds away from the garden. Very territorial. You have a great photo. #2255938

Thank you Bea, nice to here from one of our Victorian cousins :-) If you live in the NE you have some wonderful country to photograph.
