Field Notes

Description:

The Grey Fantail is most easily recognised by its constantly fanned tail and agile aerial twists and turns. Both sexes are similar in appearance: grey above, with white eyebrow, throat and tail edges. This species is quite inquisitive and will closely approach an observer.

Habitat:

Spotted in my backyard amongst rainforest trees.

Notes:

5 or 6 birds all very inquisitive as i was taking photos.
