I saw a beautiful sight this week, just for a moment.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a background that looks so much like a studio backdrop, highlighting the beautiful warm browns of the fairywren’s brown bill, lores and eye-ring.

This little fairywren perched so sweetly on the horizontal ‘twig’, which also looked as though it had been set up in a studio to enter in the bottom left corner and finish just short of the top right corner.

The inadvertent model did a brief moment of preening which fluffed up her tummy feathers so they curved around and caught the light, and held her head in just the right pose to get a catch-light in her eye – exquisite.

Happy birding, Kim
