We consider ourselves very lucky to study fairywrens, not only because these small birds are so charismatic and fun to watch, but also because everyone we run into across the country, wether it be a tow-truck driver in Broken Hill, or the trivia host at our local pub, has a fairywren story.
So we were delighted when Leigh Roswen shared this incredible post from her blog with us that chronicles nearly a whole year of Superb Fairywren action in her garden, from males molting into bright plumage, to observing nesting, to finally seeing the fledglings and watching them grow up. Do take the time to check it out for yourself! It is wonderfully written.
