Friendly Fantail

Post by Rebekah »

There was a fantail floating around the house all day.

I love these birds - they're so neat. Real characters. Do you get them in America?

The picture is fuzzy because I took this inside the house and there was a big blob of flyspray o nthe wondow...

Snow, whoever took that picture is lucky. Fantails are very quick birds on their feet, hopping around on a branch, or a pipe as mine was :???:

I'm envious of you getting to see them in action! Taking pictures of birds is SO difficult - that might have been a professional photo that I found.
