Every now and then a bird poses just right for a photograph. Every now and then everything goes just right with the camera, and everything is in focus that should be. And to top it all off, the composition seems to be just right.
It happened to me a few days ago when I took this shot of one of the New Holland Honeyeaters in our garden. It was one of those occasions when I say to myself, ‘That’s good.’
I think I’ll print out a copy and mount it in a picture frame.

New Holland Honeyeaters. Currimundi Environmental Park N/S axis path -quite a few bathing in a puddle from recent rain. I spent some time watching them. Photo not good! Sorry.
Flowers are many in this spot on the Sunshine Coast just north of Lake Currimundi.

Hi there Dot,
Welcome to my blog about Australian birds, and for leaving a comment. New Holland Honeyeaters in our garden - especially those that visit our bird baths - are a constant source of entertainment and enjoyment for us. They are delightful birds but can be a little bossy towards other species at times.
Sorry that you do not like my photo. That’s fine - I happen to like it so that’s fine too. We all have different tastes, likes and dislikes. It would be boring if we were all alike.
Visit again soon.

From your brief description Dot it sounds like it could be a Red-necked Avocet. Did it have a reddish-brown head? Perhaps you need to get a good field guide to our lovely birds; it will help you to identify them.
