[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This male bellbird visits my feeding station daily but because of very low winter sun it has been very hard to get a good photograph of him. When he arrives all other birds leave the feeding station until he has his fill of honey and jam water.

Hi Richard,
wonderfully captured. The bird has good sharpness and the blurred background gives a good DOF. tfs, Heike

btw: I would have left the station as well if I were a bird and he came along: noticed his piercing expression in the eye?! ;-))

You did well Richard with your bellbirds. Good shot and especially with the bird standing on the branch like this.
My best and one and only shot of a bellbird is Here

At the time I was pleased with it. I'd never seen one before :(
