White-winged Fairy-wren

I went out looking for Southern Emu-wren's with a friend today. We tried two sites but without any success, I get the feeling that they're the kind of bird that you have to sit and wait all day for, and even then you might not see or even hear one.

So after dipping on them, I thought I'd share some white-winged fairy-wrens that I photographed in January this year. If you've looked at my blog you will have seen these, but thought I'd share them anyway :)
