My theme for October is the birds I have photographed while out and about.
This selection is some of the smaller birds. I find them very hard to photograph as they flit around quickly and like to hide in amongst the foliage.
Top Left - Double-barred Finch (Taeniopygia bichenovii) - an estrildid finch found in various habitats in northern and eastern Australia.
Top Right and Centre - Red-browed Finch (Neochmia temporalis) - another estrildid finch that inhabits the east coast of Australia.
Bottom Left - Variegated Fairy-wren (Malurus lamberti) - found in eastern Australia. This is a breeding male.
Bottom Right - Superb Fairy-wren (Malurus cyaneus) - I think this is a juvenile male, you can see the blue coming through on the tail - found south of the Tropic of Capricorn through eastern Australia and Tasmania to the south-eastern corner of South Australia.
