Beautiful series of shots, Richard! I especially love the flight shot of the juvenile Pacific Gull. It is a outstanding lifelike capture!

Amazing capture of this handsome male Superb Fairy Wren, Richard! The blue color is so rich and eye catching. This photo is pinpoint sharp and 3D looking in appearance.

Many thanks Mike for your very kind comments.
I really do appreciate them

This is the Male Variegated Fairy-wren and according to Birdlife.org.au, is the most widespread of the nine species of fairy-wrens found in Australia.

Taken on this morning’s walk along Oxley Creek Common in Brisbane.

Cheers

Another couple of beautiful bird photos Dennis.
The SC is awesome with it's details up close.

The wren is so different and beautiful. Surprised by the comment re it's commonness.

Your various wrens would complement the wrens thread. They'd just about be all covered

Well, I'm certain he would have been happy with you if he saw the results! Great pose and image. Very nicely done, Mike.

Cock fight! A came across a spectacular sighting in Botswana recently, of two male crested francolins in a fierce battle over the attention of a female. The two completely ignored my presence and fought each other for about 3 minutes. I was amazed at the aggression exhibited by both combatants. Thankfully I managed to come up with two images that I think tell the story.

Excellent captures, love it! I haven't seen any UFC in quite a while so a little fight action is a real treat.
