Fast movers (Malurus cyaneus)

Even on continuous mode, it can be hard to freeze an image of a Superb Fairywren, with that long tail, it's hard to get a picture with both the front and back end still. They're really very fidgety on occasion LOL.

I got this male through my bedroom window, which looked out onto a different part of the garden to the feeding area.
