The male Variegated Fairywren is sure a beautiful bird. I've decided to do a separate post for the female wrens as the two look very different from each other and both deserve their own page.
You'll encounter these guys in little communal groups with a dominant male & female.
They dart and zoom around in fairly dense undergrowth, pausing then moving on.
These guys will draw your attention when they reel out their fast, musical, metallic trills back and forth amongst each other.
Without being too scientific, I would say we encounter fewer of these guys now than say four years ago.
These little fellas shouldn't be confused with their cousins, the superb fairy-wren that you usually see illustrating mugs and tea-towels. I've never seen any superb wrens around Caloundra.
