I was walking home from the Dundonald St office, and right outside the office was this guy. At the time I had no idea which species it was, but apparently it's a Silvereye (or a wax-eye).
I didn't have the big camera with me, but I did have my Panasonic LX-3 (which now resides with my sister). If there's anything that Panasonic can do better than my big camera, it's macro. I was about 5cm away from its eye when I took this photo.
Knowing precisely zero about this bird, its species, its habitat, or how to care for it, I left it where it was on the pavement. The pavement was not, most likely, its natural habitat, but I was worried about making its situation worse than it already was. I hope this guy made it through that day.
