Thanks! I used to see Variegated Wrens all the time up in Brisbane, but they were never as colourful as these guys!

This one is a real beauty and it gave you a perfect pose! Well done.

**Larrymc** · 09-29-2020, 06:57 AM

Thanks Larry! Spring is definitely the time to catch bird plumage at its best.

The DFA 150-450 is still very sharp wide open at f6.3, which provides a lovely bokeh.

Thanks - one of the photos that made driving so far (about 1000 km) in three days worthwhile.

Thank you! We're lucky that so many Australian birds are colourful.

I saw my first one of these at Menindee this week but didn't get a shot half as good as this one

Thanks! I wish I had more time to spend photographing these guys, but I'm still happy with the results.
