Grey Fantail - Rhipidura albiscapa

[Alan]

Went for a wander around a local woodland today and only found a Grey Fantail who was prepared to pose briefly in a sliver of sunlight. That's the cleanest background I could get - but that's where they like to hang out...

I don't have many shots of these guys, so it will have to do.

Like It,these little Buggers have teased me for years,still haven`t been able to catch one.Great detail and a nice catchlight as well,stuff the background,it`s where they live,take them when you can,10/10.

Beautiful shot. Obviously the better you get the harder you get on yourself - or probably that's how you become so good - I'd think all my Christmases had come at once with a shot like this.

I agree with Gabby 100% ....... beautiful

Thanks very much Glad you like it

Serious bird togs would take points off for the steepness of the shot, and the fact that the twig runs across the tail.

I'm just happrry to get it in focus

It's remarkable it sat still long enough for you to click the shutter. We have them here, and they are very used to me, but I still don't have a photo as good as yours
