We have a gang of Superb Fairy-wrens using our bird bath.

Superb Fairy-wren Scientific Name: Malurus cyaneus

I was lucky enough to catch this little lady after her bath.

Great photo, Jim. If you can catch the male there on the birdbath would be excellent too.

The male has lost his mating colours at the moment and doesn't look much different to the female, just a bluer tail.

Here's a shot of what he looked like a month or so go (pic attributed to "Araminta" http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/).

Id prefer other types of females getting out of the bath
😎


I tried photographing one doing that once.

I find it much less painful to stick to birdlife (the feathered kind that is) 😁
