Jewel number 2. These males look like big white-winged butterflies when they flutter over the low bushes.

Man, those blues are intense! The bird looks good and I like the interesting perch, Rob.

Amazing photo Rob. With the others I note the intensity of the blues and the nice perch. When I see your posts, I am interested in all of the birds in Australia that have a lot of blue coloring. (being my favorite color, I notice the blues).

Fairy wrens were amongst my favourite birds on a recent visit to Australia. However, we saw nothing as vivid as this. It has also been beautifully photographed, great background too.

Rob that is one stunning image I know how difficult it is to get these birds in the open like this with a lovely clean bg very well caught. I'm green with envy.
