Photo a day 42 - Birds Outdoors on Wednesdays

One of my favourite visitors to the garden are these little Eastern Spinebills - members of the honeyeater family. This little fellow and his mate kept coming to this Hebe and the next door Fuchsia then flying off for a few minutes,then returning. Don and I sat there for hours watching them. I suspect there was a nest nearby and they had babies to feed - a non stop job.
