Bush Birds.

Took a slight detour on the way home the other day to check what might be on a dam. As we went along the road I saw a flock of small birds land in the long grass, though when I went to find them they were nowhere to be seen. However this Golden-headed Cisticola flew up and landed not far from me. I only managed a couple of shots before it went and hid in the long grass.
Golden-headed Cisticola (Cisticola exilis)

Grey Fantail (Rhipidura albiscapa)

Rainbow Bee-eater (Merops ornatus)
Red-browed Finch (Neochmia temporalis)
For more birds visit Wild Bird Wednesday.

If I was a bird, I'd love to be called a rainbow bee-eater. Lovely.

OH my gosh those birds are just beyond beautiful. If I won the lottery and could choose a destination, I'd love to go birding in your backyard"!
