Fantails always seem happy, maybe it’s the way they flit around after flying insects, maybe it’s their lilting call.

Fantails use cobwebs to bind their nests. Seeing them with bills full of white fluff is often the first sign I see of a nest in progress.

I wish the fantail’s head had been turned a little more towards me so I could have made better use of the perch and the background.

I’m very fond of fantails and particularly like taking images of small birds in low light. Greys are lovely and Rufous Fantails are my favourite small birds. One day I hope to get images of Rufous Fantails that are good enough to share, currently my best images of them are heart photos, in my memory only.
Happy birding, Kim
