So great to get them both together on the same perch....I would be tempted to crop it a bit tighter so the Fairywrens are a bit more dominant, but that's just me. Regardless, I really enjoyed looking at this image.
Cheers from the Canadian west coast,

Great that you got both on the perch Greg. Fantastic image! Agree with Mike about cropping a bit tighter but the image is wonderful nonetheless.

I really like wildlife in the habitat shots like this. The branches nicely frame the birds. Beautifully done.

Best,
