I've always wondered where the White Eyes in UP hang around. Finally got a clue from one of the posts and was able to track them down. Managed to get these pics. Cheers!

partner, the fruits are starting to ripen... it's them who were having a feast. having said that, this is what happens when one gets a great chance to capture a goose and muff it!!! sigh, had to go to UP after I dropped you off this afternoon to get myself these cuties.

NIce, I went to UPD as well, was there around 2:30 at FC parking lot I should have check out the tree and would have bumped into you again. ;D
Yup, the upper fruits are all ripe and are almost eaten up. The birds will slowly go down as the fruits are eaten and photo ops would be better. Better visit this tree within the week. ;D

they are quite difficult to shoot. they would come in groups... noisy and jumping around a lot... then leave without giving you a good shot.
the good thing is they keep coming back!
thanks ely!

that's right william! i like the location and the height of these trees! the building gives good cover... the fruits are at about the right height.
ka mastah, my first FIB... Fruit-In-Bill shot! It was a bit soft but I posted it mainly because of the fruit!

Good shots of the white-eye, Gabs. The third shot really takes the cake (or should i say...the berry?)  |
