Oh that's a wonderful start you've made your Gallery!!! Naughty birds these.... it was fairywrens that were responsible for me making a trip to Australia in 2019, just to see those wee blighters LOL.

Gorgeous, aren't they!

Thanks so much for showing us this little lady.

(I did see lots of other species too of course!:)

She posed nicely for you. I wondered if she caught the insect but clearly not!
