That's wonderful Joan. I have to admit, I'm a little jealous 😄
Thank you so much David. 🙏😊 You're lucky to have some beautiful little residents! My locals have all been chased away by larger birds - Currawongs, Magpies and even Indian Mynas. I love the Magpies but would prefer to have the little birds back...
After the breeding season is complete, male Superb Fairy-wrens moult their breeding colours and adopt eclipse plumage. During the winter months the eclipse males lose all of their breeding colours except the blue tail. Here's one with a brown female.

Thanks so much! 😊 So tiny and fast moving - of almost 90 shots taken of them, I kept about 10. Love them 😄

They really are! So far, this nest is still intact. I wonder how long it will be before it starts to fall apart. 😄
Australian Magpies don't always build the most attractive nests. This one has used some wire coat hangers and other discarded items in his creation.

Buff-banded Rail mating update from 7 Dec: 1 chick caught on wildlife cam. Shy at first, but a better view near the end of the clip as it follows a parent. A lot of currawongs and crows around. Hope they haven't taken the rest of the chicks.
