I spy with my little eye, a darling noolbenger perched on a scarlet banksia. 😍

Did you know that the noolbenger (Noongar, honey possum) feeds exclusively on nectar and pollen? They are the only marsupial in the world known to have such a specialised diet.

This species is an incredibly important pollinator of banksia flowers, and they have actually developed a symbiotic relationship with these plants.

The dependence of honey possums on the banksia flowers means they are able to discriminate ripe, nectar-bearing banksia flowers from immature unripe flowers. This skill enables the species efficiently to collect large quantities of pollen and nectar. Despite only weighing 5-20 grams, they can drink up to 7ml of nectar a day!

This stunning photograph was taken by Naidu Kumpatla (), on Western Australia's south coast. Tag your nature and wildlife photos with for a chance to be featured in our feed.

Look closely at this meticulous post-meal routine! ✨

I was incredibly lucky to capture this tiny Honey Possum delicately grooming its face and tongue after a heavy feeding session in the canopy. When your diet consists entirely of sticky nectar and pollen, staying clean is serious business!

Did you know that this grooming is essential for their survival? By meticulously cleaning their specialized, brush-tipped tongues and fur, they keep their delicate feeding equipment in perfect condition and ensure their coats remain insulating against the cool coastal winds. 🌿🐾

Zoom in on that incredible pink tongue! 👅

I was absolutely thrilled to capture this baby numbat stretching out its incredibly long, pink tongue.

Fun fact: Numbats don't actually have proper teeth for chewing! Because they swallow their prey whole, their teeth are blunt and peg-like, relying entirely on that incredible sticky tongue to do all the heavy lifting. 🌿💛

Nothing beats an overcast day in the bush for a dreamy, smooth background. I love how this perfect lighting makes the intricate details and bright red patches on this Red-eared Firetail absolutely pop. 📸❤️

A chilly start in the bush! 🌿

It is always a special treat to spot a Southern Emu-wren out in the open. I absolutely love that striking blue patch against all those beautiful, sparkling water droplets. 💧💙

A very friendly forest local! 🌳
Encountered this gorgeous Noisy Pitta near Eungella National Park and it was happy to just hang out. Always a privilege to spend time with such vibrant and curious little birds. 💚📸
