E. c. albipennis was described by John Gould in 1841 and is found in north Queensland, west through the Gulf of Carpentaria, in the Top End of the Northern Territory, and across into the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It has white on the wings and a discontinuous stripe on the nape. The wing-patch is pure white in the western part of its range, and is more cream towards the east. It has a longer bill and shorter tail than the nominate race.

Yes, its face is green not blue. It is an immature but fully grown Entomyzon cyanotis, spotlighted waiting in the queue for the nearby Grevillea which is a popular source of nectar for its extended family and numerous other honeyeaters which frequent my garden.

Found on the streets of Athens, Greece near the Acropolis. I had to stand in a certain spot to get the illusion of her face to come together. Do you see it? The face is painted on two different facing walls. If I were to have moved, her face would not line up. It's genius artwork. Signed by Achilles. I Love it!

Another new bird for me... the Blue-faced Honeyeater was keenly interested in any food scraps for its demanding young...

It was interesting to see just how hard this bird worked at lifting the bark to get access to the insects.

Blue-faced Parrot-finch (Erythrura trichroa), Carbine Tableland, Queensland.
Didn't see too many of these birds around this summer.
Was a at a caravan park and they feed the birds every evening. It was a lot of fun watching the Blue-faced honeyeaters.

Juvenile Blue-Faced Honeyeater finds that its face is still that yellowy-green shade.One of those shots where I could hear that there was some bird drinking but couldn't see it until I swivelled the camera through 45* to the right as I was down behind the screen. Right at the minimum possible distance here , within a cm or 2.

Back to work tomorrow… I have had a brilliant Christmas break. All good things must come to an end (for a while).
Loads of work for our studio to do in January and February. I'll be busy, so it might mean a few iPhone self portraits will be filling my 365 on busier days. I'll try and keep them interesting though.
