Google it.<e>
</e></QUOTE>

I didn't identify this one...a friend told me it was a blue wren and they look alike.



But you're right...its a grey fantail.



"During waking hours the bird is almost never still. It flits from perch to perch, sometimes on the ground but mostly on the twigs of a tree or any other convenient object, looking out for flying insects. "



Damn thing just kept bouncing around, staying in the shade so I had to use a slow shutter speed.<e>
</e></QUOTE>



I got A LOT of blurred ones when I had no idea how to use 4K on my camera so I was VERY proud to get these caught the regular way at the time and it became my favourite bird. I thought they were willie wagtails because of the eyebrow,...lol

Since going on little country day trips I have spotted several breeds of birds I've never seen before.



I have now seen Red Capped Parrots (a pair fly across the road in front of me)



White-neck Heron,



Red capped Robin



Mistletoe bird (dead)



Straw-neck Ibis...



Various ducks ( I ignored them though so couldn't tell what variety they were)



Two birds I would love to see and capture sometime Emu Wrens and Blue Fairy Wrens.

Yes it was. It's great seeing something you didn't notice before. I haven't done much traveling in the past 20 years. We have responsibilities... but all day trips we can do so I'm taking advantage of our mild weather before the heat is upon us once more.

That's a coincidence..



We are taking advantage of our last bit of wild weather before the harsh cold and snow is upon us once again..



It seems to be coming early this year.

Yes... take advantage of good weather while you can.



We've already hit a 26 this month... and that is only going to be the average plus more this spring... then bang, 38 + will hit us.

Twenty six degrees is a warm summer day here..



Thirty eight degrees is unheard of.
