Kings Park, Perth

Wattlebird feeding on a scarlet banksia Banksia coccinea
This photo was taken in the Botanical Garden bed dedicated to these remarkable plants. They are related to the proteas of South Africa, compare with the post about sunbirds, http://maria-fremlin.blogspot.com/2011/11/sunbirds.html.
They were all on my list of things to see ;-)
