Have tried and failed a few weekends to get good shots of one of these without any joy. SO I thought I would post these anyway as it appears to be the best I can come up with at the moment.
I found it interesting that they were running with the Eastern Yellows and what I think was a Scrubwren or possibly a thornbill at the time. ALso a grey fantail which was very pretty ... but no shots :'(
It was sooooo hot and I fell in the mud and have to say I was very disappointed not to produce more out of what was a concerted effort to do so well!! Ah well .... next weekend I guess
Ohh birdie, the rufous Fantail is soooo beautiful!!! It is "the one I love!" I used to have a pair , but this year, they haven't turned up.:-( Yes, chez moi, they hang out with the Robins and the Fantails. I just love the way their eyes face to the front. ( Good(?),people pay money to get a mud pack! LOL) Chez moi, I'm still waiting for the scarlet Robins, I haven't seen one this year, yet? (I was after a grey Fantail this morning, very hard to get a photo !!

Failed to get any good shots?? These look pretty good to me especially as they are a bird that wont sit still. Ray
Thanks Ray... well I guess they are nice but I know they could be better. To be perfectly honest they should have been as they were really coming close and at one stage there were 3 of them!!! But you are right, they flit about a bit and just as I thought I could get one they were off to the next twig!!!

Well birdie I think they are great shots. Fantails are such busy little birds that getting any shot of them is a fantastic effort! I think you have done really really well.
Yep Holly I guess you guys are right.. I think I have been spending too much time on "that other Forum"...LOL
This little guy does show character the way he was looking at me doesn't he???? And they were so cheeky!

What a cute little bird. Great photos.
Cute little bird and great big eyes looking at you. Good to see you've been out and about
Hi Birdie
You're photos are great! They are much better than mine. I find it so hard to get clear photos of them since they move so much! And I usually can't get very close to them.
There are so many Grey Fantails around my house and they aren't that scared of me. They come quite close, which is good for me! ^_^
