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.
ReplyDeleteThat little wattlebird looks sort of porcupiney..... Very nice capture Carole
ReplyDeleteCarole, 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
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of the Wattlebirds. The one sitting on the bird bath put on quite a show for you.
ReplyDeletea cool looking fellow! the first shots remind me a bit of the starling. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat looking bird, I've never seen one of these before.
ReplyDeleteWOW Carole!!! These are beautiful. I love how fluffy the baby is and such wonderful close ups of the Wattlebird feeding.
ReplyDeleteNow 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!
ReplyDeleteHi 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.
ReplyDeleteA little beauty Carole.
ReplyDeleteWonderful images Carole... beautiful to see.
ReplyDeleteThat little guy looks a bit like the starlings we have in the Pacific Northwest (US)..(we spend summers there)
ReplyDeleteWattle bird? Perfect name. Isn't that just it with the sun? Never enough unless there's to much!
ReplyDeleteCheers 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!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
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!
