Little Wattlebird: Even though it's described as a 'large, slim, dull honeyeater" in my Readers Digest, Birds of Australia book.

Red Wattlebird despite its yellow belly. "Cheeks silvery white, with drooping red fleshy wattle at rear becoming larger with age" See a wonderful close-up with this wattle more apparent, a photo taken by David Kleinert.
Beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteMiło popatrzeć na ptaki, które u nas nie fruwają. Urocze jest dla mnie trzecie zdjęcie, na którym widać białe upierzenie ogonka. Pozdrawiam. *** Nice to look at the birds that we do not fly. Charming is my third picture, showing white tail feathers. Yours.
