Much like the magnificent frigatebird and the resplendent quetzal, the superb fairy wren is a rather immodestly named bird. You can see why, however, with its bright blue feathers and upright tail. It is actually a fairly common bird in many parts of Australia but still a treat to see and photograph. I encountered this one in Narawntapu National Park on the northern coast of Tasmania.

What a striking, electric blue hue in this pretty bird. Love the composition, Sean!

Really fabulous, Sean! Beautiful blue bird isolated with a soft creamy bokeh.
Thanks Rick. These guys usually don’t stay in one place for too long but this one allowed me a close (and low) approach.
great pic, I like the blue color of the bird.
