I saw this species for the first time last year when I went to the Sturt Desert here in Australia. I will soon -two weeks - be going out there again but this time armed with far more photography knowledge and with my own camera.
This image took three days to get as these guys are shy. The females, that are plain in colour, as far more accomadating. The males like to hide away from you.
This was taken with a 550D, 100-400 @ 350, 1/1000 @ 7.1, ISO 200. Shot as a Jpeg - I did not know there was such a thing as RAW files at the time. I have removed a branch that ran vertical to the left of the tail.
Thanks Tom
I forgot - this is a White-winged Fairy Wren.
