Sept 12. Juvenile Red Wattlebird

This baby was being fed insects by its mother as I approached.
She wouldn't come near it while I stood under the tree, but resumed
feeding when I left.

Great capture,Sheila. Great feather detail. Ps: Yes you are spot on, about the flash giving me a dark background;)

Both images are very good , baby looks to be in a safe position maybe he isn't an expert flyer yet.

Your lucky to get the babies when they appear. I like the adult on the Kangaroo Paw, that green/ red variety is nice.

i don't know how you get to know all these birds by name... :) nice catch...i'm sure it wasn't easy.

Superb shot, Sheila! I bet the adults were cross with you - were they very noisy?
