Yellow-Faced Honeyeater

[jonathandael]

This was taken later in the afternoon and gloomy weather.. hence, the high ISO and slower shutter speeds..

Lichenostomus chrysops 15-18cm

Masked honeyeater with black mask divided by narrow yellow stripe below eye, and narrow white comma behind eye. Breast faintly streaked grey.

840mm, wide open, slow shutter speed, high ISO, manual focus, subject partially covered ... and you nailed it.

Not the sharpest among your captures, but I think nobody will ever complain.

It must be the camo.
Good job dude on that nice looking bird.

[Bob Kaufman]

Interesting looking bird which you captured quite well.

Thanks for the encouraging comments guys!

Looks like the shooting conditions were tough..... nice shots of a pretty bird!

Still a great capture despite the conditions.
