Yes, definately a blue-faced honeyeater. I like the pose in the first shot Leon.

Cheers,

The face is less blue than I'm used to seeing. There is also more yellow at the base of the beak. Regional difference of maybe just a young bird ?

I tried getting one of those at my brothers house up in Brisbane a while ago. They are hard to get because they never sit still! Well done mate.
