This was EXTREMELY exciting for me but I wasn't close enough for that great shot. I'm pretty sure it's a Superb Fairy-wren... If I go back, I could see it again.

Also a currawong...

Capturing those little guys takes skill and patience. It's a rush when you get one.

bloody oath. It saved me taking THOUSANDS of pictures. All I need is a still hand on a subject for a few seconds.



I just wished my zoom was better quality.

I think we chopped up two apples between 24 birds...



You should UNDERFEED wild birds. They need to reply on their own devices, not us.

These birds belong in our garden drinking from our bird baths. I have two. One in the front garden and one in the back.

Yes, and they're very fast but The Little Brown Honey-eater is smaller and so are the Fairy Wrens.



I'm looking forward to improving these shots. Splendid Fairy-wren.. I'm so tired I'm hitting the sack. I had a long day.

I hope my husband comes home in the next hour so I can go back there in the hopes of getting the shots I want.
