Looking a bit like the negative image of a tern, the Black Noddy (Anous minutus) is a striking pelagic seabird. We saw many during our recent cruise and knew this graceful bird had to be the focus of our #33 Bird Photography Challenge when we returned.
As we drive along country roads, we often observe falcons in flight, in particular the Black Shouldered Kite (Elanus axillaris).

Our interest was struck by this unmistakable honeyeater with its brilliant blue facial skin, and its varied song that starts early in the morning before many other birds. Our first sighting of the Blue-Faced Honeyeater (Entomyzon cyanotis) was during our winter cruise in Queensland and it makes a handsome subject for our #31 Bird Photography…
