Blue is always an easy colour to find in my garden and of course there is always the blue sky and sea, but I often have trouble finding other blue things for this post. Perhaps I am not keeping my eyes and mind open enough.
However, I guess these little guys qualify. They are quite difficult to get in focus as they are constantly moving - I just close my eyes and snap.
These are Superb Fairy Wrens and are very common in gardens, especially in the Hills where we live. They are very territorial and live in strong family groups. We have e family of 5 little ones - 4 girls and a boy just starting to get his blue colouring. These are adult males, one living around the back lawn with his family and the other claiming the front garden as his territory.

ReplyDeleteThat is a bird I've never seen so nice to see it,
ReplyDeleteLove these adorable little birds and wish they would fly to my garden in Seattle in the USA. But the poppies and irises below are quite familiar to me, just have to wait a bit for the showy flowers of spring.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen this bird before, thanks for sharing

What beautiful little birds! And the second photo actually fits in with this week's Sepia Saturday theme in that the bird is so small and the leaves so big! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are such a pretty little bird. We always call them "blue wrens" so I was have learnt their correct name.
