Glorious shots!

Thought I'd add in this little fella in who I caught mid song the other day.

Male Superb Fairy-wren

Very nice shot. If that's a cat tail its perched on, then that's one tiny bird.

Wow Kevin, the tail on that Kingfisher is just amazing, brilliant shot.

Thanks Ed! He was probably a little less than the "average" SFW, around 9 cm from head to tail base and yes, that is cat tail - we call it Bullrush or Cumbungi (less common name) over here, but much the same. I dubbed him King of the Cumbungi :-) Here he is surveying his vast Bullrush empire shortly before I snuck a little closer.
