Grey Fantail

Clicked this bold little fella this afternoon out near Capel W.A

About 10 minutes later when I had put the camera away he dived into bushes and started alarm cry next moment a Goshawk or Collared sparrowhawk just flew along the firebreak about 5 metres off the ground at a terrific speed

Lovely! Great job Laza, I find it hard to get these fellows sitting still!

Definitely one of my favourite little birds. They do kind of define perpetual motion.

That reminds me, I haven't seen one of these at my place yet eithercrying. They'll turn up, I'm sure.

Wonderful to see a picture see a picture where the Fantail is standing still! All those fantails seems to be hyperactive.

They do occasionally sit still, long enough to scold you and give you a piece of their mind.

LOL that's exactly what he was doing and I finally got that shot after three visits and about fifteen shots

It's funny how I can hike for hours through the bush and not get a shot and yet can be parked in rest area next to a paddock for 10 minutes and come home very happy

Dont take life too seriously, it never ends well
