I like the Thornbill. Something must have ruffled the Blue Wren's feathers

Well there is very little happening with the birds in and around the Shack at the moment.
The Blue Wrens are losing their colour very quickly and it goes to show that pretty can rub off!.
Compered to a shot from a couple of weeks ago their looking a little shabby!

Slim pickings at the moment buy still a nice way to spend some time.

Got some shots of a Blue Wren yesterday I think I'll call him The Last of the Mohicans.
Or maybe his just an extra from Brave Heart!.

A Wren wondered into the Shack.

It spent sometime sitting on the kitchen bench before Tayne and I managed to direct it to the open door.

Dave's not so Blue Wren.

With the colour Dave here's my guess, through the lens the blue looks to be almost like a wax coating over the feathers.
I reckon the bird secretes something during the "I'm Feeling Frisky Season" and I do mean to produce the blue colour!.
Anyway thanks my guess.
A Dusky Robin in a tree next door.

This fellow is a new one to me a Golden Whistler.
Beautiful bird and I hope it turns up more often.

There was lots more on the day, but I'll save some for those rainy days when the camera stays inside.
Cheers

Here is a bit of interesting reading about the Blue Wren colour loss. Maybe the Golden Whistler can be the bird of choice during the winter to bring that splash of colour.

Your right Dave the Blue Wrens are just wonderful regardless of their plumage.

Well it's time to go and sit on the deck with a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise.
Damn it's a hard life down here!
