I watched a male and female wren disappearing into some very dense native grasses, where the nest was so well hidden, that I couldn't see it.
Here are some photos I took
have a look at the big fat fly
here comes the female
looking a bit worried
bringing a nice treat
Sorry about the missing tip of the girl's tail, I didn't crop it off, I was so close to her, that when she flicked it up, it ended up outside the frame.M-L

...one more,still feeding,two flies at the time, the young must be close to coming out of the thick grass?

Beautiful and sharp shots of my favourite species, M-L. Too many Superb Fairy-wren shots are not enough. :-). Keep 'em comin'.

I'd have to agree with George, these are great little birds. And your shots make them all the more enjoyable! More please!
Probably the dream of every photo hunter to have the shots like these :)

All good shots M-L. Very sharp and good detail. Well done to get so many in the clear.

gorgeous sharp shots of a beautiful bird, the female is so pretty, and the male gets all the attention usually...but in your shots you can see just how beautiful SHE is too:)
Thanks,
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best
Thanks Heather, you are so right,the girls are pretty, I can hear them sing outside my window right now.:-)
Like birdie, I'm happy to see you are back. (you don't live all that far away from me, I live in Gembrook. We should get together one day!?) M-L
