Red and Blue and a Goose or Two

Yesterday afternoon was another too-good-to-be-stuck-at-work days, so I took the afternoon off with wonderful results. I finally managed to catch a Scarlet Honeyeater at a reasonable height level. *yayyyy* Had just about given up on the site where I was when a Blue-Faced Honeyeater came along and wanted to show off. laugh

I also found some very photogenic Cotton Pygmy Geese.

Those were the first ones I've seen. I was out at springfield lakes because I had seen a few bird lists with unusual/different birds on them there. They were on one of the lists, although I did a fair bit of walking around to find them.

It's a lovely place to spend an afternoon.

The scarlet honeyeater are a bit of a source of frustration for me since they like sitting up high and ignoring me. D:
