A new-to-me bird, this Singing Honeyeater appeared in the wattle trees the other day, as I photographed the Yellow Thornbills.

There are two other honeyeaters with pretty much the same look, but a longer face mask, along with the bit of white on the throat, pinpointed it as a Singing Honeyeater.

I must start compiling a Life List!

Everywhere I look, wattle is flowering. A small flock of Yellow Thornbills live in my area. These ones are in my neighbour’s paddock.
