A caring, sharing image for Christmastime.
Grey Fantail (Rhipidura albiscapa)
1/1250, f/5.6, ISO 3200
This image seems to typify many aspects of Christmas including eating, giving, caring and sharing along with the frenetic busyness of the parent birds snapping bugs from the air in acrobatic swoops. The juvenile fantail begs for food by calling when it sees the adult returning, then opening its bill as wide as possible and rapidly fluttering its wings.
I like to ensure that a lirralirra post goes out at Christmas but apologise that this week’s post is so brief; I’m busy with my version of acrobatic swooping.
Wishing you everything you wish for yourself.
Happy birding, Kim
