wow. i've only seen this fly twice before and had average pics. this was way better. the marking on the face and abdomen are blueish. this one also had a yellowish tinge on it, but it may be the unusual angle as normally I am taking pics from above not side on like this one. THe golden wattle is only about 1.5M tall.
