Feeding Wattlebird
This wattlebird was so engrossed in raiding the flowers it seemed to be totally oblivious to me, I really was only about 3 metres away from it.
I’m told the flower is known as redhot pokers.

Beautiful image Anthony.

A lovely image – so bright, with good lighting, and good details of the wattlebirds feathers. Sometimes, that magic moment strikes and makes all the near misses go away (even if only for a short while). Well done.

Gee guys, so many people love this pic, I’m almost ashamed because I was at the right place at the right time and it was too easy, I don’t feel as though I suffered enough for it, you know like what Clarkey comment says, its so true, thanks Elaine for the tip on what plant it is, I shall update the speil.

Great shot. Yep, the flower is red hot poker. We have them and the wattle birds also feed from the flowers.

Great shot,
reminds me of my mums garden and her redhot pokers, she has wattle birds that do the same thing.
