I was watching the Little Wattlebirds in my backyard yesterday afternoon, and saw this fine fellow perched up on top of the Ornamental Pear tree. I'd never seen a wattlebird wearing an orange cap before! So I had to take some photos. They were quite obliging :)
At first I thought it might be a colour mutation, but now I think it's a pollen dye job. Either way, I think it looks great.
I agree with the pollen notion, Tommy. And a fine looking Little Wattlebird with a pollen notion it is, too.
He looks very proud of himself doesn't he or she
Yes, that pollen has caught me before now. Lovely pose.
Haha, love the dye job, its Mardis Gras of course :-) Nice shot.
