...try chasing this little beauty! Adrenalin was high and no time to play with binoculars and see it well and truly defined as I might've loved to do. If I can manage a round of snaps, then I will lift the bins.
I know there's nothing quite like seeing it up close in the binoculars, but I want to bring the memory on home with me to share
this way ...I'm over here
aaaaah, that's it; don't move ...thanks Scarlet!

Great photos - the only time I have seen those little fellows sit still is when they are on a flower filled with nectar!
Wow, it is a colorful bird! Beautiful photos and a great bird!
Now there's a great bird I didn't get to see when I visited Australia.
Lovely bird, great red!
HI Carole This is my favorite Honeyeater and well done for getting some shots of it.
What a fantastic colour!
holy smokes! rather like a vermilion flycatcher over here. just a bright pop of super red!
Talk about bright color! Wow! Beautiful!
You did a super job capturing this fellow in all its glory.
What a brilliant bird. There is no way not spotting him in that thicket.
What a beautful bird!
Greetings, RW & SK
Well done master of the bird shots. He is delightful.
Wow, Love the Bird!!
Brilliant taking Carole, Scarlet is one of my faves.
Haha! I think the exact same thoughts when i'm out with the birds. This species is a hyper-active little sugar junkie that I've never managed to get a good snap of, so well done, especially for that last shot!
Such a vivid colour that you can see from miles away. So far I've not taken shots of birds with such a dramatic colour.
Beautiful little bird! The colour is amazing.
Incredibly beautiful!! Loved the way you zoomed in for us, too, Carole.
It's always difficult isn't it Carole? To look or to photograph knowing the bird is bound to move very soon? Never thought about your idea of wanting to bring it home- I'll remember that. It's a lovely bird anyway with a fabulous name.
Scarlet was certainly cooperative....lucky you....what a gorgeous bird Carole!!!!!!
Hugs,
Jan
wow, that´s a beauty. Lovely shots as well.
Oh, that's a wonderful find for you, and what a gorgeous bird! Great photos!!!
How splendid that is and you did a great job!
Hi Carole... He is a real beauty!!
Nice he cooperated long enough so we could get to enjoy seeing him too!

My heart is beating fast for you Carol! How thrilling it is to spot the unusual ones. And it's true--you hardly know whether to just snap away hoping to get a good shot or just be still and enjoy. I usually snap. . .A great spotting!
Gorgeous bird! Glad you got a great shot of him to share with us!
Congratulations! My (few) contacts with these intensely vivid beauties triggered the same reactions!
get the record shot, a little more stealth and bingo, you end up with a stunner!
Scarlet indeed!
Now that's a Scarlet bird! What a great spotting and I'm so glad you captured it with your camera to share.
lovely! so vivid
What a little stunner, and such good captures.
All the best Gordon.
