Red Wattlebird / Rotlappen-Honigfresser

Red Wattlebird / Rotlappen-Honigfresser
Portrait of a Red Wattlebird, coincidentally taken in Perth's Kings Park in Western Australia while I was trying to take a picture of my favourite Australian plant, the Kangaroo Paw.

Dieser zur Gattung der Honeyeater gehörende Red Wattlebird (Wattle = Kehllappen) begegnete mir im Kings Park von Perth in Westaustralien, als ich eigentlich die Kangaroo Paw (Känguruhpfote oder auch Känguruhblume) genannte Pflanze im Vordergrund fotografieren wollte, die dort in allen möglichen Varianten und Farben wächst.
Dabei konnte ich wunderbar beobachten, wie der Vogel seinen Schnabel in die geöffneten Blüten tauchte und mit seiner langen Zunge den Nektar schleckte.
Der Rotlappen-Honigfresser wird knapp 35 cm lang und ernährt sich hauptsächlich von Blütennektar, Insekten und Früchten.
