Life in Colour August: Red
A mid-week bonus photo. I heard the quiet chip chip in the garden this morning. I knew who was out there.
A double red for the bonus this week

What a fantastic double winner – the reds in the honeyeater, and the wonderfully fluffy bottle brush are so bright. Isn’t nature amazing! I presume the honey eater’s beak is bowed at the end to make it easier for him to access the honey?!

Nature is so utterly well made!! Amazing to see birds with such vivid colouring – we have a lovely range of birds here in West Sussex, UK, but much more muted! I turn to the butterflies for flashy colouring 🙂

Oh, yes. Red on red. And isn’t he a little beauty? I was scouring the skies for a buzzard this morning, I could hear the mew-mew sound, but it took a while to locate it. Isn’t nature and wildlife wonderful?

Nature is my thing Jude. I love having it around my house every day. The plants that bring the birds and insects and the animals that wander through from time to time.

I reckon that scarlet honeyeater knew just what he was doing when he posed on that red bottlebrush. “I’ll wait till that silly s*d comes out with the camera and give him a treat” I can hear him say to himself. And he did, and you got it!
