Hi,

These birds have been showing up in numbers around Melbourne, which is quite unusual, must be a special year!
Even though they are in a lot of places, they are still quite challenging to photograph. They are tiny in size and never sit still. Took me nearly ten separate attempts to get an image I was happy with :)
