I'm catching up on posting
about some exciting new sightings.
On an extremely hot
day in March 2016, my eye was attracted to some movement in one of the outdoor birdbaths.
Imagine my surprise when my focus of the binoculars revealed a pair of variegated
fairywrens.
I quickly reached for my brand new Panasonic Lumix DMC Z200 and these photos of the male were
taken through the glass window.
At this time of year
the birds are in eclipse non- breeding plumage and the male has just a bare
suggestion of azure blue around the head, blue tail and chestnut shoulder patch.
You can see the normal
breeding plumage of the male in the photos of Graham Chapman
The birds stayed
around for about 20 minutes, jumping in and out of the water, and haven't been
seen since.
