Wild Bird Wednesday - Superb Blue Fairy Wren


My Blue wrens have finally donned their 
little blue coats and are fiercely defending their territory

This little animation is cheating pure and simple.
My photos but my son's expertise in
creating the rotating animation.


So far I have safely reached Sydney and had a lot 
of fun on the Indian-Pacific Railway
and am now enjoying springlike temperatures 
and a lot of plum blossom and camellias
although the landscape around the ex gold mining 
town of Bathurst was white with frost and the smaller dams
were ice covered at dawn.

More of that in my next OUR WORLD  post.

  4. Wow! Never seen this beautiful little bird. Never been to Australia, so maybe that's why! I hope to be visiting family in Australia in the next two-three years, so I will have to be on the lookout!

  6. The fairy wren is indeed superb.
    I spent a number of years living in Bathurst - and remember those brisk mornings.

  10. I like the animation you have going here. Wrens are amazing birds but I don't think I've seen one so colorful....at least we don't have the blue variety here:) One day I'd love to put the Wrens together in a collage and just compare their colors, faces and feather tones. Thanks for sharing this magical little bird.

  15. SO lovely!

    Sorry I've not been commenting lately but a tendinitis (shoulder + elbow) is forcing me to stay away from the computer as much as possible - repeated movements of the arm is all I have to avoid...
