Scarlet Robin

I usually actively avoid photographing breeding birds but this one 'found me'. I was walking through the bush when I heard its chattering call This red flash then flew straight past me and fed two young in a nest less than 4m away. Both adults continued to do this with me sitting a little further away. The male obliged by using these dead banksia flowers as a final perch beforwe flying to the nest whereas the female flew straight to the nest.
