CommentPrecise
The Little Wattlebirds consider themselves to be the bosses of my backyard. They often chase away the smaller birds just when I get focus on them and before I manage to click. It can be very frustrating. But luckily for me, the wattlebirds make wonderful photographic subjects themselves. This one bends his neck backwards to allow his incredible bill to get to the nectar from the grevillea, perfectly adapted for the job. I love how capturing a moment reveals colours in the feathers I didn't know were there, a white tongue and an eye that is so mesmerising.
