I photographed this Wattlebird in the flax flowers a few days ago. (Nikon D3000) These ones frequent the southern Australian mainland.
An immature Red Wattlebird, its red wattle is barely visible. Young ones have less yellow on their tummy, too.
As you can see, it wasn’t particularly worried about me.
Thanks for looking.

We go past the Merino sheep, still unshorn.
A brief glimpse of a little silvereye…
I saw a fruit tree blossoming in a side orchard. Pretty sure it’s the first I’ve seen this season.

Lots of photos… Continue reading
This walk, from the 26th July, is mainly birds and bunnies. We did walk to the Caledonia Gully Reservoir today, but I took nearly 100 photos on our 7 km and I was too pooped to sort them. This one is a shorter walk, barely a kilometre, close to home.
First, just over the footbridge, I checked a low lying wattle for bees. Saw a fly, first.
Not many bees, though. And it is more on the clover than on the wattle blossom.
While walking up Argyle Street, the sticky beak cockatoo checked on us.
Crossed Dairy Flat Road, and fluked this magpie launch.
A yellow-rumped thornbill… Continue reading
