Entirely a post devoted to small, cute birds.
Splendid fairy wrens are currently in breeding plumage,
and the firetail finch was really adorable.
I couldn't believe how lucky I was though
to get some of those male/female shots of the splendid fairy wrens.
I seem to be having a lot of luck lately.
Female and male Splendid Fairy Wrens.

Firetail Finch with nesting material.

I found this finch really charming, so there's a lot of pictures I apologise.




Male Splendid Fairy Wren and female (sexual dimorphism ftw!) The male was guarding the female pretty aggressively, so they made really good subjects as a result.

Female in focus.

The male is mildly floofing his cheek feathers (the pale blue ones), he can puff them all the way out.



SUPER close guarding.

And finally: Male splendid fairy wren singing up a storm in the bushland!

The splendid fairy wren is a well-named little puffball.
