Red Wattle Bird |
Well my camera was in another room. I thought nothing ventured ,nothing gained so I went for the camera and wondered if the bird would stay there for some pics.
I swapped a telephoto lens from my KX to my KR(pentax) as the Kx did not have a card in it.
Went to our enclosed front porch and took shots through the window. The bird stayed long enough and I even got a little video including the swoop from the New Holland.They are called Red Wattle Birds because of the red "Wattle" on their heads.We also have yellow wattle birds in Australia. Funnily enough as they have a yellow wattle.The Red Wattle birds have a quite loud range of warbling and chuckling noises in their repetoire of calls.The New Holland Honey eaters are very attractive little birds and very common in Adelaide. They make a lot of noise at dusk as they prepare for the night. They are usually the last birds you hear around here each night.
Please note I have posted this without the video as was having trouble loading it. Will load later.
I thank God for the wonders of His creation.
