The largest of the Australian honey eaters is the Wattle Bird, named after the fleshy red wattles on his neck. Here seen feeding on the nectar from grevillea flowers.

Nice capture, love the composition. Wattles? Is that what that is, and grevillea, wow what a beautiful flower.

Very interesting and unique shot Frank - I've never seen either the type of bird or flower here on Caedes. Nice work.
