The Lewin Honeyeater parents had been very busy bringing food to the youngsters in the nest but yesterday the pair were out of the nest and getting ready to enter the wide world.
There was only a light breeze in the morning when I took the photos but by the afternoon they were getting a buffeted by a very strong wind and ready to move to a more sheltered position.
For the Yellow-faced honey eater the story was not so good as I noticed that the nest was out of position and the adult was looking quite agitated, which led me to expect that the eggs had been eaten by our resident tree snake.
Lovely photos. Do hope the youngsters do well although a shame about the nest of the yellow-faced honey eater.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the photos and I am pleased to say that the youngsters were flying around with their parents the following day. Yes unfortunate for the Yellow-faced Honeyeater but may be next year better luck.
