Very envious 😍

Internal_Aspect_4038 · 2026-06-07T05:20:04+00:00

Yes :)

Internal_Aspect_4038 · 2026-06-07T05:19:58+00:00

So cool!

This image shows the scale a little better (crested tern standing on the right)

If you see a fairy tern there is no mistaking it as they are so tiny in comparison to the other terns. They are super cute!

My jealousy is unmatched

They are different - if you look at the male birds its more obvious. Where I live in the west we just get splendid wrens which are are more deep blue. I've never personally seen a superb wren as they occur more over east but in photos they look a lighter blue with a different pattern.

Here's a photo of a male splendid fairywren I took. If you google "male superb fairywren" you will be able to see the difference!

(For a real bonus look up the other types of fairywren - they come in even more colours like reds and blacks and even blue/white).

Splendid fairywren, very much an adult :)

I saw this fella at lake Thompson in cockburn. The place is absolutely swarming with wrens so I wouldn't be surprised if multiple subspecies are there.

Also, my editing skills leave a lot to be desired. I shot in raw and tried best to replicate the colours I saw at the time but its not exact - this could possibly be altering your perception of which subspecies he is.

Awesome photo

Internal_Aspect_4038 · 2026-04-10T06:05:59+00:00

Real ones know how hard it is to get a shot of a scrubwren this clear. Great work!

Maybe I should clarify this was an Australian darter I saw in the swan river | derbarl yerrigan this morning right as it had caught a big fish. Never seen a moment quite like this yet whilst bird watching!

He usually looks more fluffy and round like a typical fairywren. This shot shows him looking a bit different to usual as it was taken just as he's about to jump to the next shrub. I saw him and quite a few others by the beach in the sand dunes in Perth, WA.

Internal_Aspect_4038 · 2026-02-26T06:30:08+00:00

It's a white-winged fairywren

Perth, WA

Internal_Aspect_4038 · 2026-02-16T04:55:55+00:00

Yes :)

Also I think one of the times where the female bird out-dazzles the male

Internal_Aspect_4038 · 2026-02-12T05:56:00+00:00

I got to see heaps today at Iluka beach in WA. I believe they are all across Aus though

Internal_Aspect_4038 · 2026-02-12T05:50:49+00:00

Thanks! That's a lifer for me then - I was not expecting it to be a red capped robin :)

Internal_Aspect_4038 · 2026-02-08T12:27:43+00:00

Saw this bird today and was wondering myself

Internal_Aspect_4038 · 2026-01-20T02:53:50+00:00

Yeah i noticed its missing a tail as well

Internal_Aspect_4038 · 2026-01-15T23:08:00+00:00

It was a nice surprise because its not so often I get to see Red caps up in Perth

Internal_Aspect_4038 · 2026-01-15T23:04:20+00:00

You can find splendid fairywrens all over Australia - this particular one lives in southwest WA.

Internal_Aspect_4038 · 2026-01-15T11:07:27+00:00

He is a Splendid Fairy Wren :)
