World Bird Wednesday - Grey Fantail +


The Grey Fantails have been around since late summer and try as 
I might, I don't seem able to get a good shot at them.


Same place, just cropped


and flitting just above the ground.


I thought I'd throw in an Adelaide Rosella for good measure.
They are just coming into mating plumage.


Happy birdwatching everyone!

  4. The birds do not seem to understand the needs of photographers to sit still while we do our work!

  5. The Fantail reminds me a little bit of our mockingbird. That last bird has gorgeous colors!

  15. It never ceases to amaze me the different brilliant colors that birds 'morph' into during mating season.

    Nice parrot!

  20. Your Gray Fantails look a wee bit like our Mockingbirds. Very nice!

  21. I would like one of those powerful zoom lenses that cost a fortune so I can get better shots from far away. Sadly that will have to wait until I win the lottery. ;) Love your bird shots!

  25. Catching up on stuff I missed and glad I saw this one...that fantail is great and I think your pictures are fine.....can't get over that colorful bird (parrot, lorikeet ???) just sitting there on the fence (like the ordinary bird he is for you, but he sure wouldn't be for us!).
