Great images everyone. .

Male Red Wattlebird. This guy was coming and going from a bee hive in the limestone cliffs along the river's edge. It would dive into the cavity which was out of my sight and come out a few seconds later with a bee in its beak. It did this several times whilst I was watching and I've seen him there before. These large honeyeaters are insectivorous nectar feeders, but I've never seen one take bees before.
