User's notes

This very young Red Wattlebird gets dropped off in the morning by a parent bird to my Melianthus bush where it spends most of the morning on its flowers drinking, with an occasional check up by a parent. I leave the flowers on as long as possible for the birds, but they get quite sticky as they age off. I took the photos through my window!

The brown eye was interesting. Not noticed before that it doesn't have a red eye like mum and dad.
