Nice shots. How big are your aussie wrens? Here in England they are about the smallest bird you could possibly try to photograph.

Thanks Foxbat
These birds are 2.5 - 3 inches end to end. Very flighty little things but vary curious. I just stood and tried to whistle like they do and had them flock to me. Even in the under growth at my feet. Cutest little birds I know of out here.

Lovely photos. I saw them this year for the first time in our yard. They were very flighty though and I didn't get a decent shot. I guess I'll have to learn to whistle!
