[Photos] Wildlife - Splendid Fairy Wren and Firetail Finch.

[moonvoice]

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!
