Little Critters




 Superb Blue Wren (male)







Juvenile male Scarlet Honeyeater



Mature Scarlet Honeyeater (a second one in the background)





Just a few of the smaller critters which have frequented our garden over the last few days.....much nicer than anything I could possibly create with my own hands.

    Beautiful shots those shots of butterflies - wow! I can feel the anxiety about the fires - I remember one been stuck in a national park foe a day waiting for the fires to pass. I hope people stay safe.

    I would love and at the same time, not love to be on a judging panel if these photos were in a competition. I would love to comment on each one at length, but would not love to choose a winner. Thanks for all these special captures (and no creepy ones too has helped). Hope you're going ok, Renee.
