“From behind” (#6 in single-image series; Superb Fairy-wren)

 

 

Superb Fairy-wrens and Splendid Fairy-wrens both deserve their names.

The former – Malurus cyaneus, pictured above – is the “Blue-wren” most familiar to humans who reside in Australia’s southeast.

The latter – Malurus splendens – is the Blue-wren most commonly seen in Australia’s southwest.

I did manage to take a “successful” photo of the pictured individual, complete with the obligatory “eye in crisp focus”.

However, I like this rear view at least as much.
