Male Superb Fairy-wren.
I can find myself power walking along with world issues on my mind when hear a trilling bird call from shrubs or long grass. Suddenly I realise I'm carrying a large camera and I become transfixed on tiny, little elusive subjects with upright tails hopping about. I find myself fiddling with camera controls and stumbling about for untold hours. I have buckets of the same photos from my film days but when ever I see Australian Fairy-wrens I am lost. I regret I messed up the exposure of these pics. (I should have underexposed them) Australian contrasts are so strong. The light is so white and shadows so dark.

Amazing little bird, sure beats our wrens in Japan.........
Fairy wren is another reason why I wish I can visit Australia once in my life. Birds over there seem to have much more extraordinary plumage than anywhere else in the world.
Love that first image Russell!
