This Australian bird is a member of the Honeyeater family and is known as a Little Wattlebird. They eat nectar from flowers, but also insects and seeds. I was surprised when it made a nest in a wall-mounted hanging pot plant basket. Which also meant that the wires around the basket became a fence around the nest - almost certainly the smallest this week. Check the next two images in the PiPs, taken over several days later. Happy Fence Friday, everyone. I'm afraid outside doings (moving house) are taking my time at present, and it's likely to be near a fortnight before I'm able to join ipernity online again. Best wishes until then.

These Australian honeyeaters are called "Little Wattlebirds" (they're about 35cm), though I think my title would be more appropriate. They're no songbirds, instead having a number of loud vocal calls such as "LOOKOUT" . This one was probably complaining about me taking its photo without first getting approval. :-) Best viewed large. Another image in the PiP. Wishing everyone a very Happy Fence Friday and, for those who observe it, an enjoyable Easter. Most of all, stay safe in these difficult times.
