Superb Fairy Wren

This afternoon I spent some time outdoors photographing the wrens when they came into the garden. They're the sweetest little 14 cm bird, darting about like little mice here and there and with a high-pitched trill-voice. 

Will share more during the week, but here's a favourite for starters.

    I love this little bird, what colors and stance, like it's ready to just flit-gone again. Is it cold there? never mind you are in your summertime right now yes? It is so fun to meet people from such another part of the world and realize our seasons are opposite.
    Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving such a wonderful comment.

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.
