I have only seen a Striped Honeyeater once before at Eagleby Wetlands and it was high in a tree. This one was far more accommodating and stayed in the low branches as well as landing on the ground to look for insects. In the ground pic he has a spider or ant in his beak.
Good job. I too have only seen them twice and up high in trees

Aiming for DSLR-quality shots with a bridge camera
Thanks Ryu. My bird book has them listed as uncommon although they are found across Australia. Nice to get one with more than just a good view from the underside. Cheers
Very nice shots alcatraz - love #2 .
I have also only seen them twice, around Central Coast NSW which i see is southern limit of their range on the east coast.
Bird book describes them as "rather furtive" !
Thanks WD. I think this one is the extrovert of his family. Having said that, since I go to Eagleby Wetlands most days, I have not spotted him/her in the past two weeks.
Cheers.
Nice catch of a beautiful bird. I have only seen them once and that was in Mildura.

Great photos alcatraz. They are fairly common up in Brisbane but more often heard than seen. No. 2 is my fav.
