Wren Identification

Hi,

Captured these little guys on my compact camera this morning...

I can't ID them from my copy of "Field Guide to Australian Birds".  The ones that I think are possibilities don't range where I live, apparently.

Cheers

Ron

Variegated Fairy-wrens, it always helps to say where you saw them.

Thanks Timothy.

They were on the ground at my place - in an area cleared out of the bush.  Just north-west of Brisbane not too far from North Pine dam.

Cheers

Ron

Yep, you can tell they are Variegated as they have a longer tails than the superb. The band on the eye on the female tends to be a brighter reddy brown than the Superbs also.
