Fishing for Superb Fairy-wrens

Went out for a Carp fish on the Nepean today with my 4yr old son and took my Olympus OMD E-M1 camera with me as i can relax if i'm not fishing with lures like i usually do but anyway it didn't take long for a family of Superb fairy-wrens to check out what we were doing so naturally i started fishing for photo's of birds wink
1st one is the female, next two are the male and last 4 are EDIT: non breeding males

To view the photo's best view them from my flickr account @ 100% as these are just touched up jpegs as i don't have much time to play with cropping and the raws at the moment.

They're all beautys Vas.

It's worth mentioning that the last 4 are actually eclipse (non-breeding) males. Juveniles look very much like females.

Your right, i have totally forgotten about that since iv'e been out of birding for a while till recently. Thanks for letting me know.  I should have picked up they were not juveniles by the dark beak colour.
