#298 Silvereye at The Jawbone, Williamstown, Victoria, October 6

Silvereye are extremely common, and I usually get a reasonable photo of one a few times each year. But this year I've struggled to get any sort of photo. Today I went to a place that I have seen Silvereye quite a few times and tried to track them down by call. I eventually found a small flock, and then began the difficult task of finding one that would come out into the open and stay still for more than a nanosecond. A few did and I ticked off species photograph #298 for 2016. I did feel a bit silly going somewhere and targeting such a common bird...! Two more photos to go...
