This morning just before 8am I looked out my kitchen window as something caught my eye and I noticed my tree that has dancing pink elephant.gif Bottle brush flowers on it was covered in Wattle Birds 4 little wattle birds and one bigger yellow one , by the time I was organized enough I was able to get one quick shot of the Yellow one and then they all flew away soon as I went outside , but I am determined to keep trying for decent shots in the mean time you get what i got

Well this is the latest of my wattle bird shots , in the next yard from me is a big old twisted tree and one of the favorites the wattle birds like to come and sit in ,

Margie played with this shot in photoshop a bit for me to enhance the quality , but I must admit so far its my fav shot of these delightful birds
