Wrens

The signage near Frazer Beach at Munmorah State Conservation Area reads 'watch out for the male superb blue wren with it's bright blue feathers, followed by a harem of brown females and non-breeding males.  Their musical zizzing trill is often heard in the low scrub where it likes to hide.

A small wren family were seen hopping around the scrub boundary, mixes of ti-trees, banksias, wattles and other natives.  When they ventured out into the open up between the picnic tables, then was the opportunity to get a snapshot.

 no wren in this photo but I loved the mossy cover over the ground

 

After a bleak, cold-wet-windy weekend, no wonder they were enjoying their time out (like I was just seeing them).  Missed getting the photo of the blue-boy that was there for a while, but happened upon another male fairy-wren in another location of the park

...the car-park in fact.  Well it was just alongside more dense native shrubbery but while he landed out here I had to try get a photo in case there wasn't another chance amongst the greenery.
