I'll take it in blue.....!!

EXCITEMENT....!! A few days ago a friend and I were watching a 'willy wagtail' darting about and commenting on how cute they were, and he asked if I'd seen a blue 'fairy wren' (Fairy Wren)..well I had not, as much as I had looked, I never seemed to spot one....WELL.. as I was walking along the coast yesterday I caught a glimpse of bright blue in the scrub at the side of the path and there he was darting about, the picture isn't nearly as clear as I'd like but I had literally seconds to snap before zip..he was gone..The reason I know that he's a male is because the males have the bright blue plumage and the females are more 'sandy brown'.. what's THAT all about, I don't know about you... but I think that's just sooo wrong  haha.....!! and yes, I will happily accept this sighting as a 'happy birthday' from good old Mother N.....!!
