Variegated Fairy-wren

Beautiful! Well done!

In the winter, fairy-wrens look like little round puff balls with tails. I'll have to find a photo of one and post it.

That bird looks so chubby. :)

The grey is the clinking curawong (from their call). Only, in Tasmania, just to confuse things, the grey is black. The only visible difference between the two is that the grey has white tail covert feathers, Which, of course, are the hardest feathers to spot. So far, I've gotten a few good shots of the black, but none of the grey.

The birds here certainly toy with me. I've been hearing the clinking curawong all day, every day, for the last week. Really, really loudly, and obviously close by, but when ever they take to the air they're 100 meters or more away. Damn cagey critters

Well spotted. I'm impressed with your stalking skills.

Steven, we don't have wrens in Malaysia. I was in Perth last year and I saw one of them fairy-wrens. Tried to shoot it but most of my shots turned out blurry.

beautiful bird + photo!

Not an easy bird to get on camera. These fellas are so jumpy. Love the colour on the head.

You're welcome. Our Aussie wrens are worth the trouble. I spent ages yesterday trying to get a shot of a Red-Backed Fairy-wren. I missed him....but I will get him!

What a beautiful little bird! So glad you got a photo to share with us. thank you!

Great catch! Well worth your stalking :)
