Cam's Birds
Diamond Firetails
Diamond Firetails (Stagonopleura guttata), west of Guildford, central Victoria, Australia. While looking for raptors last weekend, I was really happy to find this pair of Diamond Firetails eating some grasses/seeds on the side of a small road bridge. Unfortunately, this image is an extreme crop taken in the afternoon through heat haze rising from the bitumen road, so the conditions were not ideal. However, I was very happy to see these birds which are listed as vulnerable, and capture eye contact from both birds in the one image. This is only the second time we have seen them in this area.
