Wild Bird Wrensday 531 - Superb Fairy-Wren

 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!

  5. I see a similar bird in Costa Rica. Aptly named.

  8. 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!
