Thanks Domien. The Eastern Rosella is probably one of my all time colourful favourites and try as I might I just can't seem a good close up, they're extremely shy, at least in my neck of the woods. I'll keep persevering and if successful I think you'll agree it will eclipse any of the above....

My popular diner. It wasn't until I saw these on my PC that I realized that they had not only shared the same seat but had partaken from the same plate as well!!

Eastern spinebill.

2 Wattle bird.

3 The wattle bird is not a large bird but it does put the spinebill into perspective which is very small.

4 'The pollenator'

I couldn't figure out what was eating my mandarins, there was a lot of small bits of peel under the tree which I thought had come from a possum or bush rat. Very very surprised when I caught this Silver eye in the act. It's a very mall bird, the mandarin here is a little smaller than a golf ball.

4 An interloper started a full on fight which I thought might have been fatal it was so fast and furious. Sorry about the blur but I wasn't expecting anything like this and didn't have time to adjust SS.

Peter, I remember flocks of Silver Eyes were the bane of my late father-in-law's Yarra Valley vineyard as they descended on and punctured the ripening grapes with their sharp beaks in the lead-up to vintage. They were completely oblivious to the compressed air guns that were meant to keep them away. The only effective deterrent would have been netting.
Great shots.

Thanks Joe. Maybe I'm getting some of their relatives in the off season, the nearest vineyard is about 4km as the bird flies!!!
