'The Bluebird of Happiness..........' (Malurus cyaneus)

Last but not least my little friend the Superb Fairy_Wren! .....I went down the back road in between lessons the other day, as the park was busy with too many people at Xmas parties, and stopped near the place that I had seen this fellow before and there he was all perky and hopping around and not much time for me! But he did pose for a while and I managed to get this one to share with you all! They always remind me of my mother, God bless her, as she liked the song 'The Bluebird of Happiness' and they are so cheerful even on the dullest days.
I do hope you all have a safe Happy New year . Nora!

I regularly spend hours trying to capture a decent shot of these or Variegated Wrens. It's a fun thing to do, but for me it's usually fruitless. Well done.
 
A fantasy bird really! I guess one would be accused of stuttering if one would exclaim "Superb Superb Fairy Wren"...:smile: , and it is beautiful enough to cause stuttering in any bird lover. Thanks for sharing Nora!
