Superb Fairy-wrens are seriously gorgeous.

These little beauties nest at my place, generally on the ground among the juncus reeds. I usually see them virtually every day but I haven’t seen them for a while, I hope it’s because the weather has been so miserable that I haven’t been out and about as much as usual.
A family of Grey Butcherbirds have been frequent visitors and although they have a pleasant call and a dapper look, they are not birds that I welcome for long periods; I’m hoping they don’t have anything to do with the missing wrens. I also hope that new neighbours don’t have roaming cats.

Sometimes I get the chance to watch birds bathing and I particularly like capturing the flurry of feathers that generally follows a dip.
Here’s hoping that all birds have a beaut breeding season this year.
Happy birding
