Fairy-wrens are stunning little birds, and hard to catch sitting still!

Nice capture of this little guy, RobG; and yeah, they do sing their hearts out. Like a really vocal canary. I used to hear them singing in the Hibiscus plant outside my bedroom window, but they had always disappeared by the time I got out there with my camera. Eventually, I managed to get quite a few good shots of this Superb Wren, but not yet while one had its beak wide open and singing like this one you have caught.

Great shot.

Thank you! Typically they are jumping around frenetically, so I was lucky to catch one singing. Spring helps I suspect!

Fairy-wrens are fabulous! One day I'll get a photo of a Splendid Wren (they had trouble with finding enough superlatives ), which has more blue. Although the blue I really want to photograph is the back of an Azure Kingfisher - that blue is incredible!
