Blip Gods

Some days the Blip Gods smile on you - and so it was today. 

I went outside in the first instance to get an image of George, who hasn't published an entry for a couple of days.  And this very young Red Wattle Bird flew down for a drink.  He wasn't the least bit shy; I was only 2-3 metres away.

Red Wattle Birds are interesting.  I know, for example, that this one has most likely just left the nest.  The older the bird, the longer the red wattle, and this one's wattle is very tiny.  And he still has traces of gape. 

It's good to see his parents have at least taught him where to go for a drink.
