Red Wattle Bird suffered in the Heat

The Red Wattlebird (Anthochaera carunculata) does not often look vulnerable.

This one did in our four consecutive 40+C days.


We know them as "WattleJacks" from their call but there were no calls this day.


A summer storm brought rain with a cool change.


Their calls can be heard here ...  http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/species/Anthochaera-carunculata
