[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As promised a Splendid Fairy Wren couple with the female occupying the top apartment and the male serving as concierge ;-)
I was lucky to get them both, because these two were constantly flying away and coming back. Nothing keeps them in place for more than a few seconds. Frenetic!

Wow! This is a shot that should not happen often! They are one the nicest birds I know and their names just give them justice they deserved. They are such a lovely and unusual couple to me. The orange flower just makes them stand out very well. Splendid Wren or Fairy Wren, what a great name they have! They look almost surreal! TFS,

Hello Eric,
I have been behind this picture for a while, and here you have done it!
Certainly they're quite quick and are jumping all the time, so this is a great picture.
Not to mention the wonderful bonus of the orange added by the flower, and the vibrant contrast with the rich greens of the background.
Congratulations and thanks for share.
My best regards,
JM

Hola Eric: Una hermosa foto, no conocía esta especie de gran belleza, y mejor aún que presentas el macho y la hembra en una misma toma, lo que le da un valor agregado a la foto. saludos.
