Agony and Ectasy DSC_1042
The agony comes from the fact that I am suffering from a "Dry Socket" from a tooth extraction last week which is excruciating so I am abit miserable at the moment! However, I was looking out my study window I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this Eastern Spinebill hovering around the Salvias and Grevilleas. I have been after this bird for ages and while I have spotted it a couple of times around Melbourne, I have never managed a reasonable image of one.
After swearing, as I do when excited at times, I grabbed my camera and dashed out, afraid it would be gone by the time I got into the backyard. He was kind enough to hang around for ages and allowed me to get a few images while hovering around the flowers, like a hummingbird.
I love my birds so much, my pet ones, the wild ones and my backyard birds. I really feel this one came to cheer me up and has been coming back for the past few days.
