The title refers to the white ring around the bird's eye, they are known as Silvereyes or Waxeyes, tiny and agile they are a pest for grape farmers, this one is feasting on a small orange. I believe they came to NZ from Australia, now a common sight in New Zealand.

Spotted in one of my plant pots, this little flower looks happy despite the low temperatures we are having. I hand-held the camera with the kit lens and the Raynox 250, it was needed because the purple flower is only 2 cm across, the seed was in a mixed flower sachet so I don't know what it is...

A visiting C5A Galaxy taking off on a very foggy morning many years ago, I was waiting at the end of the active runway with my trusty Minolta X500. on hearing its approach I was ready and managed one shot, a rapid wind on, point and fire, not knowing what I had got until the film was processed...

No idea Alan.

Who knows? Because it was there I guess, or was it because I was bored, anyway there is something about it that prevents me from deleting it, was it worth shooting, what do you think?

I never realized you were into birds Alan, I like the pictures of your feathered friends.

A nice change, landscapes do not need to be vast areas of real estate and mountains, Waterfalls are a subject that will not please everybody, I don't like milky ones yet others do, Thanks for showing your pic's, more please.

I thought i had replied to this thread, perhaps not. Alan, that Gorse is a pest here, you can't even burn it, the seeds survive.

A trip to the local shops on this cold miserable morning with my old TZ10 hondy, surprising what you can find to photograph, I will make the same trip again and find more images in a weeks time,

Lovely scene, very colourful.

On a cold windy wet day I get the wife to watch the editing

Fantastic colour show, congrats

Rather frightening at that magnification, well spotted

I know you will recognize the bird but the flowers will beat you, they are artificial.

Alan, I would like to know how you knew it was a shell, and even named it? this one has a lot of purple in .it

An afternoon with a macro lens, my imagination got the better of me.

This is the tree, recently very heavily pruned,

The id of this shrub in my garden has me puzzled, some say it is a cassia, others a Senna, It is about 25 feet tall and the flowers are too big for it to be a golden shower tree, any Ideas?

Amazing, but certainly not a contrail, they only occur at high-level. my example took me by surprise and I couldn't get to high ground to do it justice

nos 1 and 4 are superb and my pick, though I do not like Winters weather.
