Another wattlebird from the garden recently - this is the larger (and more aggressive) species here in SE Australia.

Thanks for looking, Greg

Stunning shot Greg.
great detail and rich colours. The flowers frame the bird very well.
The fact that it is in your garden explains why the background looks familiar.

Cracking good image, Greg. You really have some great perches in the garden.

Gorgeous shot Greg, love how the flowers match the eye and bit of color on the bird's neck.
