Diving in for lunch - Eastern Spinebill
Feb 28, 2018 23:11:13 #
I've previously posted images of our Eastern Spinebill which is a very small honey-eater. We don't have Hummingbirds in Australia, however the Eastern Spinebill comes close. I was lucky to catch this little fellow as it dived towards a Grevillea bush with has its favourite nectar producing blossoms.

Excellent. I can't believe you stopped that action at 1/250 sec. Great job.
Thankskpmac. It's not the shutter duration - the image is produced by the very short duration of the flash whilst the shutter is open. This is the very same technique which has been mastered by one of your countrymen. See this.... https://rpphoto.com/Articles/View/1/...g-tailed-Sylph And again thanks

Apparently I'm late to the party. Glad I discovered this magnificent shot.
