Little Wattlebird
Having a great time jumping in and out of the birdbaths in my back garden; it's the (noisy), Little Wattlebird Anthochaera chrysoptera.

What wonderful pics. I enjoyed these so very much.
That little wattlebird looks sort of porcupiney..... Very nice capture Carole
Carole, I love your photos of this bird and the beautiful foliage! You were able to get wonderful close-ups of him!! Especially love the one where his little beak was opened! Thanks for sharing a bit of your world for all of us to enjoy! hugs, Laura
Great photos of the Wattlebirds. The one sitting on the bird bath put on quite a show for you.
a cool looking fellow! the first shots remind me a bit of the starling. :)
Great looking bird, I've never seen one of these before.
WOW Carole!!! These are beautiful. I love how fluffy the baby is and such wonderful close ups of the Wattlebird feeding.
Now I understand why you didn't post the Pelican for WBW (as I suggested in my comment)... these are amazing.
Those are gorgeous, Carole! Fantastic photos! Very nicely done!
Hi Carole, wonderful shots of your wattlebird. It is so cute all puffed up from bathing. And I lov ethe shot with its mouth wide open. Thanks for sharing, have a great day.
A little beauty Carole.
Wonderful images Carole... beautiful to see.
That little guy looks a bit like the starlings we have in the Pacific Northwest (US)..(we spend summers there)
Wattle bird? Perfect name. Isn't that just it with the sun? Never enough unless there's to much!
Cheers Carole!
So fluffy on your bird bath...how cute!

what a wonderful blog, full of pictures of such cute birds! I have not seen the blog fully yet!
Thanks.
I thought he was a very funny coloured bird, till I realized he was wet. When he is dry, he is much better looking. Maybe he was yelling at you for peeking, when he was in the bath!
