Red Browed Firetail

Another photo from our day out in Maitland recently.

This is a photo of a red browed firetail I believe and it wasn't easy to get a photo of because it is quite small and was moving quite swiftly in the bushes.

I am putting together another photo book of my 365 photos at the moment and today I have been working on that. It has been lovely to have a day at home and able to have some play time.

@hermann Thanks Sal. You are right they are very difficult to capture, I ended up in the bushes trying to get this one.

[Babs]

@pusspup They do indeed move fast. This was the best of a bad bunch of shots.

[Taffy]

What a beauty, and well captured against the green.

[Babs]

@shesnapped Thanks Ashley. My wrist is doing fine. Still a bit sore on occasion but I think it will take a while before the tendons are repaired. I have discovered that it hurts more when I have been doing the ironing or the vacuuming, ha ha.
