You look awful wet (Zosterops lateralis, Malurus splendens)

A Silvereye, was looking askance at a soaking wet Splendid Fairywren. Not sure, but I think the fairywren may be a young male, as he doesn't seem to be completely blue over the back.

Have you ever had one of those days when things seem to start going wrong as soon as you wake up. Such was this one... my head was spinning so the only thing I could do was to accept a friend's suggestion of going up to my patch for a couple of hours to clear my head.

Hope tomorrow is better... can't be worse LOL

That's why when I wake up in that kind of mood, I don't get out of bed :)

A lovely double capture of this Silvereye and Fairywren D!

Not at all. I am really happy to sleep and to wake up. Things normally do go wrong later.
A lovely capture of these cuties.

A wonderful double capture of these two very different species. I think the silvereye is in disbelief that even being bedraggled the Splendid Fairywren is still beautiful (lol). Fabulous action and behavioral picture D! TFS!
