I went next door to my neighbour’s yard as it’s always good for birdlife amongst the bushes but came back disappointed as there was nothing much around, despite the sun being out. So I was very surprised when I looked on my own lawns near the birdbath and raised beds to find a family of superb fairy-wrens hopping around. I set my sights on a male – they are a brilliant blue and black in colour. Missed getting it on the bird bath but did get it on the small maple tree nearby.
Love the blue and black on the head! Beautiful bird!
