Simply lovely! He's a small, robin-sized fellow, flitting among the low bushes with a Honeyeater. Beautiful blue in the morning sun.
Didn't have my cam with me but managed to search for his breed online, I'm pretty sure he is a Splendid Fairy Wren, or the Blue Wren. He is a breeding male. With such an awesome colour, he sure will win hearts!
