Wild Bird Wednesday - Yellow-rumped Thornbill


A cute and very small birdie
so hard to capture


A still moment in one of my rose bushes


but when it moves 
it moves like lightning


and leaves barely a blur . . .

Linking with Stewart's

    Such a pretty bird. We have small, fast birds here but I've never successfully photographed one.

    with a name like thornbill, i was envisioning a hornbill - a huge bird with big beak. :)

    A smart little bird. Well done on getting some good shots; I know how difficult it can be to photograph small, active birds.

    Hi!:) Thank you for your visit and nice comment!:) The Yellow-rumped Thornbill is a new one for me. Have never seen it here in Portugal, but it's a pretty little bird.
    Thanks for sharing!

    Lovely! Those little ones are always hard to get. I just start to focus and they move. You got some great shots of it before it moved.
