Many honeyeaters today and yesterday found large Amethystine Python in pandanus no joke. It proved camera shy, so snake-cringers can relax.
Meanwhile, Shining Flycatcher juveniles doing well with parent female (above) doing almost all the feeding.

ReplyDeleteIts a lovely dancing image.

Cheers

As always, too kind, Mick.
ReplyDeletePython had bigger prey in mind. Gone today. In its place, slender tree snake.
