Geoff's Gallery:   Eastern Spinebill (2/7)

PASSERIFORMES: Meliphagidae

Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris  

This honeyeater darted into this bush and within seconds had finished one bunch of flowers and moved on to the next. It was hard for the auto focus to keep up.

Larry's point and shoot could not focus and this plus an incident with a Bassian Thrush helped him to decide to buy a 40D and 100-400L series lens!
