Super Fairy Wrens

[Lance B]

Managed to get a few Superb Fairy Wren shots today, one of my favourite birds, but they are very elusive and flitty. Patience does pay off, but I still need to get some better ones! I hope you like them.

All shot with the D7000 + AFS300 f2.8 VRII + 2x TCIII. Various ISO's used.

I am really cranky with myself for overexposing this shot as it would have been such a beauty if it were correctly exposed.

This guy was a little bit mottly. Cropped quite a bit.

This guy was strutting his stuff. Cropped quite a bit.

Some of the girls got into the act, too.

You mean those were shot in some more exotic location? ;-)
