Singing sessions I

Singing Honeyeater "is relatively common and is widespread right across Australia west of the Great Dividing Range, through to the west coast and on Western Australian coastal islands. It does not occur in other countries." (Wikipedia)

I do not come across this species very often and this is only my second capture of this bird published on Flickr. I had a few long sessions with the Singing Honeyeaters of Sorrento several weeks ago. This is the closest I could get to one of them: subject distance 2.99 m. I still wonder how I managed to focus my 500mm lense the head. I could not step back withouth falling off the slope...
