Thanks for the compliment Kirk, greatly appreciated.
It's amazing at what those critters are able to ingest.
Happy trails.

Wow, Richard...you are getting some wonderful captures of the Superb Fairy Wrens. This shot is truly a beauty! She looks like she is giving you her best possible pose. I think she is a bit of a show off.]

thanks Mike, yes she's putting on her best
Thanks for your very kind comments. They are greatly appreciated

Both these are very nice Ed.
The second is beautifully composed and the colours are so nice. They all compliment each other making a very pleasing image.

Mike that's a lovely bird and beautifully captured.
I love the stance. The bloom makes an interesting background

Awesome. Certainly beefing it out
Beautiful bird & photo

Richard

today there were about 20 of these beauties moving around. They sure do stick together and yet seldom all land on same spot together.

Beautiful, and your model must have stayed very still for you to be sharp at 1/80th.

Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.
