Wattled (Anthochaera carunculata)

A pretty early start the next day as we were travelling I don't know how many miles westwards along the coast. Well about 310 km to our first stop at Port Augusta.

And what a great stop this proved to be, for we went and had lunch at the Arid Lands Botanical Gardens.

Walking from the car park on another very hot day, I spotted this Red Wattlebird in one of the trees.

The colors on the bird shows up great by looking up at the bird to see the yellow under it. Well done Delia.---On my picture of last week, The Downy Woodpecker was the dad feeding its young daughter. That is why the size is different. Hugs, stay safe
