Better Than A Fairy Tale
Could I love this little bird more than the others, well probably not because we have so beautiful birds here in Australia but he would have to be one of my favourite.

Scarlet Honeyeater is only about 10cm in size they are very very quick making them extremely difficult to see and capture on camera.
