Superb Fairy Wren (Blue Wren) · 07:15 AM

came apon a group of Superb Fairy Wren or "Blue Wren" as they're commonly known, they seemed undisturbed by my presence which is unusual, ... until I pressed my luck a little too far

thanks for looking

Great and colorfull little fellow, nice shots

What a beautiful little guy. The third one is my favorite. Good job. Those small guys are hard to photograph.

Great job…

thanks Susan, its hard to get close enough to get a reasonable shot with these little guys, but on this occasion they tolerated my presence for a few minutes, perhaps its was something to do with the dull conditions and rain.

Well done on the focus cc.

**Cee Cee** · 11-25-2013, 04:56 PM

thanks Dave, plenty of erroneous stuff for the AF to lock onto, I had to keep switching to MF, but to be honest I can't remember which were AF and which were MF, I even tried live view and got a few pics of empty tree branches due to the shutter delay

, these little chaps don't sit still very long.

Great job catching these little fellows. By the time I get focus lock on them they are well and truly gone.

Agreed. I was having a real problem with the lens getting confused by different targets today - and the hunting was scaring the wrens away! Well done on these shots! I didn't see this thread before the post I just put up.

thanks Bruce, same here. I usually can't even get close enough for any sort of a shot, ... could be a good idea for a thread, photos of empty branches where a bird once was, I have quite a few of those along with plenty of tail feathers disappearing out of the frame

Especially if the lens focal length is only 300mm and you didn't use a hide!
