Had some other photos to share still but went for a gentle walk in some flat scrub land today and found this cheerful and colourful fellow. Beautiful little bird and quite a singer.

Thanks for the great comments Sandi, Peter, Jim and Geoff.

Peter, lol you have to be careful of my ego. Make it too large and my POTN strap wont fit over my head :lol: .

Jim, I rarely see them myself. Hard to find them as they live in scrub which isn't always that easy to get into to find them.

The first shot isn't clear because there is alot of sticks and shrub infront of the bird that I had to focus through/passed. They are quite a small bird, but not tiny and make lovely song which quite often ends with a whip-crack kind of sound.


Cheers Wayne :D

Pick up the phone - National Geographic is calling!

Another great bird capture. Detail on the eye is outstanding.

Fantastic job on the second one! You nailed the exposure, and he's nice and sharp. Great shot.
