Been a while since I posted, so here goes....
The Lewin's Honeyeater inhabits the eastern coastal region of Australia. It is more common towards the south east where it feeds on flowering native blossoms by sipping nectar from the flowers when the vegetation is in bloom.
Several other honeyeaters look very similar, however the Lewin's can be distinguished from others by the unique crescent shape of the yellow feathers of it's ear patch.
This one was inspecting some Kangaroo Paw flowers.... so named as they somewhat resemble the front paws of the Kangaroo. The nectar of the Kangaroo Paws is a particular favourite of the Lewin's Honeyeater.

great shot Warren...love the eye light
This is very nice - excellent composition, colors and sharpness with an overall sense of "complete" for me... that is, it needs nothing more...

Warren, excellent photo. Great composition
That's a beautiful portrait.
Impressive, Warren, as I knew it would be. I always watch for your posts, knowing they will be well thought out and captured. Is this from your hide/blind? Artistically, that yellow in it's plumage complements that red flower/foliage perfectly!
