Hovering Lewin's Honeyeater
Jan 25, 2018 09:41:44 #
The Lewin's is a mid-sized Honeyeater found in the south eastern areas of Australia. Such behaviour is very rare as hovering in a stationary position consumes an enormous amount of energy for a bird of this size. I was very fortunate to catch this one as it maneuvered momentarily to seek out nectar from a native blossom.

Great shot Warren...I shoot a lot of New Holland Honeyeaters here in Adelaide, this one I've never seen in these parts...
