I am beyond excited to have got this photo! In all my thousands of photos of the Superb Fairy Wren I have never been able to get a flying photo of this very very fast bird.
He was feeding his chicks in the purple bush so I was hoping for photos of him on the purple flowers. As he appeared the sun went behind a cloud, so I said to hubby that my settings were all wrong. Imagine my surprise then to find not only that the photo was retrievable , but that unbeknownst to me I had clicked just at the right time to get takeoff!! Woohoo!!! I immediately printed the photo to check if it was sharp (yay) and yes it is. Photo taken on our farm in Byaduk. Hope you are enjoying the long weekend.
