Well, after 531 weeks this will be the last WBWs posted by me when I have a full time job! From next week, I will be freelance and with luck, a lot more relaxed! More time for birds, pictures, blogs and stuff that makes me smile.
Anyway - back to the birds. This weeks WBW is brought to you by the Superb Fairy-Wren (Malurus cyaneus), which is a bit of a crowd-pleaser if there ever was one.
This birds - and as far as I can tell there are three different individuals in these pictures - were feeding on the strand line of the beach at Walkerville, Victoria. I had gone looking for gulls and such like, but found these brightly coloured male Fairy Wrens instead.
Hope you enjoy them!

I love your fairy wren Stewart. What a nice bird. Congratulations on this good change in your days
ReplyDeleteI see a similar bird in Costa Rica. Aptly named.
ReplyDeleteThe sand background really brings out the blue. What a gorgeous colour!!
ReplyDeleteHello Stewart,
ReplyDeleteThis is good news that you will have more free time to devote to your passion and your blog. I always enjoy seeing your Australian birds, and the beautiful Fairy Wren is a particular favourite one of mine. Lovely shots!
All the best.
Beautiful perky bird in a great variety of poses to show off its plumage. Congrats on your career move, but remember that once you are on your own you will have a very tough boss-- yourself!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours of this bird.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and best of luck on your life-changes!
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to see why the Fairy-Wren is a crowd-pleaser. Great photographs!
