Fantail... at last!

I've been trying to get a half decent photo of a fantail for seven years - since we first visited NZ and all the time we've been living here. I finally got a few shots of this one that I was quite chuffed with (provided I don't crop them, lol!).

He followed us when I was out with Tilly and seemed to be teasing her because he'd chirp at her and then fly just out of reach when she chased him!

Great shot. From memory they're quite jittery and quick to move so great work on capturing him.

@bkbinthecity @eileenw @sallya @hop2it @tigerkat61 @ditzy @fantail1964 @kiwinanna @alextheseal @mccarth1 Thanks everyone for your comments. I was really pleased with some of these shots because this bird can't half move fast.
