All winter this Grevillea has been flowering and feeding the
resident New Holland Honeyeater as well as a few others.
Now, also this large Banksia is full of delicious nectar and well
worth protecting.
A quick feed and
back to sentry duty warding off the much larger Wattle Birds.
There's one . . . come on boys, attack!

ReplyDeleteWow, what a gorgeous bird! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the honeyeater.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant photography. I don't think I have seen that honeyeater and it was a real treat. Our wattle birds are real bully birds and will take on just about anything. They swoop the cats, the cockies and the corellas for an alliterative start.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing bird, and such beautiful shots of it too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous bird species Arija, and so interesting. Love the brilliant feather colouration and oh my, it certainly does appear to be in protective territorial mode;')
