HI ed

two awesome shots Ed, were you able to get quite close or you had a big lens? Either way...well done!!

Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best

Thanks all.
Hev, both, 100-400L at 400, but the fantail came and played around my feet, sometimes too close (about 2 m) to focus on.
The sort of thing you would expect from a Grey Fantail but I have never had a Rufous do it before.

I see lots of grey fantails around my place but only rarely the rufous ones. Their colour really stands out when they fan their tails. You've done well to capture it.
