These delightful little birds flit about so quickly, it's very challenging to fit one in your camera frame before it's moved on again. This day, I was only able to get this quick-pic of the male when they ventured into the back garden.
Not exactly the angle I was hoping for as I hit the shutter, but it is the sweetest tail isn't it?
...a female (Jenny) wren, or possibly a juvenile.
after the brief sojourn in the back gardens, then they were back into the bush corridor again.
'Superb' is the only word for these little chaps, even if he's not exactly showing his best side to the camera!
ReplyDeleteIt is, in a word, superb!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see these birds in the wild someday! Gorgeous birds and lovely photos, Carole!
ReplyDeleteall those back tail feathers are up & showing off, i guess searching for a friend. wink. wink. hint. hint. ha. ha!! ... neat colorings. happy week. ( :

ReplyDeleteI just love these little ones.
ReplyDeleteThose tails that stick straight up, never fail to make me smile.

ReplyDeleteMerle..............
I just love all the different Fairy Wrens! They're so colorful and the long tails are too cool! I wish we had them here.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful bird, such lovely photos
ReplyDeleteTypical view of a wren!
ReplyDeleteThey are evidently proud of their tails as they are usually straight up and that's the only view one gets! I have a whole collection of wren tail photographs!
Nice images, Carole! Wow, they are beautiful!
My favourite birds - lovely photos.....
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous little birds. We have some similar at our cabin and very hard to be fast enough to catch in the lens
ReplyDeleteThey are so precious. I love the little tail on the first one.
