Grey fantail (Rhipidura albiscapa)
I went for a ride to the Koonwarra reserve on the 12th March and although there was little activity, this Grey fantail caught my attention.
It’s a week later and I’ve taken some more photos of this fascinating species. They are the gymnasts of the sky, as they catch insects in flight. Although, the Grey fantail is normally grey and white there are several pairs of birds in the reserve with the “buff” colouring.
“The grey fantail is a small insectivorous bird. There is no sexual dimorphism. It is a common fantail found in Australia, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia.” – Wikipedia
