wattlebird...

poor day for photos...glad i took this one in the morning...every other shot today was disastrous...light was weird so tweaked it by playing around with colour editor...and made it weirder...lol

[Maggiemae]

Oh wow! where did you find this bird - outside your window? How very special and such a good photo! fav

[Jules Hoogstra-Anderson]

Amazing textures and colours, amazing capture!

hey Maggiemae...this shrub is in my backyard and this bird visits every day...i sit about 6 feet (2 metres) away at a table and work on my laptop while she flits around the shrub and sits on the fence checking me out...thanks for the fav!...

I'm liking your "tagging is not my forte" tag 😂 Also impressed with your capture...coz "flit" they certainly do...usually very erratically
