Finally getting around to posting some of Wednesday's silvereye goodness today
Some highlights:
1) Mr and Mrs Harakeke Head
2) Check out this funky shadow cast on its head by the unopened (?) flowerheads
3) A different pair that happened to come at the same time but stayed apart. I love how this one looks like it's breaking the fourth wall
4) The juvenile - You can only tell from this photo from the slightly "fanned out" wings (i.e. whereas adults usually have those folds tightly packed, juveniles seemingly have some trouble with that, and often fan those out slightly and flutter them, along with their microtonally off-tune 3-note (f'' d#'' e'') repeating calls whenever their parents approach with food)
Loads MOAR pics here:

Bonus Pics Time:
1) This was one of the first in the series of the Mr and Mrs Harakeke head snaps from that morning.
I'd been taking a photo of just one of them at the time, when all of a sudden, this second one pops its head into the frame, photobombing the shoot 🤣
2) Look at the fluff when the head gets stretched out like that!
3) Looking cutesey
