Superb Fairy Wren

 
(CORRECTION:  This is a Superb Fairy Wren, not a Blue Wren, as described in my initial post - apologies; thought it best to get my facts straight! )
 
While out walking Jessie around the Linear Path at Valley View in Adelaide's northern suburbs, I was delighted this beautiful Blue Wren stayed still long enough for me to raise the camera (a Nikon P510), zoom in (42x), focus and shoot.
 
Once again linking up, with grateful thanks, to

    And super beautiful it is too. I love all the Fairy wrens but found them hard to photograph.

    My favourite garden visitor. He is beautiful, but I like the little ladies, they are so much cheekier than the men.

    He may just be a fairy. He seems so magical with his mosaic-like face.

    Great little birds - they are so fast they are hard to capture!

    And Blue Wren is just another name for this species.
