The red one (Anthochaera carunculata)

This is a juvenile Red Wattlebird, not the first I'd seen (which was in Adelaide but without camera).

Unfortunately, the sun was shining on the window that morning, so we didn't get the timing right, did we.

Sorry... really not been much with it the last few days. Had a bad fall on Saturday morning, bashed me 'ed on the way down and cut it! I couldn't get up, so had to call an ambulance. Feel a bit battered and bruised and totally lacking in concentration!
