My birdbath has been attracting a Grey Fantail ....

Once he is in the birdbath and singin' and prancin' the other birds in the area all suddenly want to be there too. Even the often shy Scarlett Honeyeaters will come and squabble over the birdbath.

Very nicely executed captures Brian!
The Fantail looks so handsome in his near-tuxedo plumage, but the color on the Honeyeaters is quite dramatic. I hope the Fantail continues to bring you some more Honeyeaters!

Brian, you caught some cool action, there. The others are very nice, too.

nice shots, birdbaths make for great photo opportunities.

The first bird however is a Rufus whistler rather than a grey fantail.

Nice shots.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

pcr1968 - thanks for the ID, didn't even think that there could have been 2 very similar birds hanging around at the same time. Here is the Grey Fantail ... I hope

Still chasing a shot of that bird in better light, thought I had it with that first photo.
