Nice shot Raymond. It must've been a rare scene to not only capture the bird but with a worm in its mouth!

Beautiful composition Raymond. A nice photo.
I find it hard to get good detail in these blue wrens, the colour reflects so strongly that it over exposes and loses detail.

Thanks Trevor. An overcast day certainly helps with the exposure of these little fellas..

Cheers Reverend.
Thanks Greg.

That is a superb image. I have been out photographing these birds before and even with a pro camera, monopod and f2.8 lens at 10m away these little fellas are very quick. I really can appreciate how hard it was to get this shot.

[REVEREND (Raymond)]

Thanks Paul. I agree, they are hard to get, but put the hours in and it will happen.
Cheers Reverend
