Superb Fairy Wren in acrylics

I finally managed to get some good shots of the Fairy Wrens down by one of the man - made lakes in my area.  It was a perfect spot - the tree branch didn't have much foliage, the sun light was just right and the wrens stayed around for about 15 minutes hunting for insects and hopping between two branches.
