The real treat comes last!

The quality is not brilliant, but those of you who take bird photos would know how precious these pictures are. To see frozen images of the 10 cm Silvereye hunting insects in the air is quite exciting for any wildlife enthusiast. And to be the one captured those frames is even more exciting and motivating. I know I can do better next time.

Another UFO

I have absolutely no idea who these two guys are. Can you help? Please, post suggestions!

[edit: 18 March '08] After examining very carefully every single illustration in my Field Guide I had more luck and came to the conclusion that these are Black-headed Honeyeaters.

This is the first time I ever spotted and photographed a Scarlet Robin. And he was very shy!
