  10. What a pretty boy is he ...... you must have felt really chuffed Carole to have finally captured this little gem of a bird who loves to flit away just as we go to press the shutter. Well done!

  12. These are great little birds - I saw them in the garden on my (now) wife's parents on the first day I was in Australia. I have had a special fondness for them ever since.

    This beauty is aptly named- with those blue colors it looks like a fairy.

  20. That first capture is wonderful!! I really like the frame you have used with it!!
    I have decided that I will have to learn to get around the stupid Blogger issue, if it is not going to go away...

  21. I think they might be my favourite little bird here but then there are so many wonderful birds --- this one just happens to come around at this time of year, just for a short period looking for insects in the garden.

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
