First flush of spring

The first yellow flashes of wattle are appearing. Winter is drawing to a close and spring is on its way.

wattle birds feeding

Wattle birds (Anthochaera carunculata)feeding on bearded heath(Leucopogon parviflorus). The little white balls are the heath's fruits and are very sweet. The wattle birds have a very harsh squaw and they are constantly chasing other birds away from "their" tree.
