Great photos would love to be that close.
Little beauties indeed! and great photos!
Hi Tony
Stunning images.
I especially like the quirky aspect of the Skink image.
Kingfisher and Sunbird are beautiful.
Cheers
Denis
Tony, your photos are a delight. I am particularly impressed by the iridescence you have captured on the male Sunbird. Oh, and being that close to a Little Kingfisher....amazing. There is more variation in the blue than I realized from my, more distant through binoculars, observations.

Hi Neil: stand still long enough and they may come.
Cheers Mick.
Hi Denis: It's a kinky skinky, isn't it?
Thanks Barbara: Confess I, too, didn't think there was so much green. From distance, the blue overpowers all else, doesn't it?
G'day Tony,
Delightful start to my day, thanks.
Gouldiae.
