Grey Fantail : Elusive ...

Autumn evening air is fresh - the light is warm and beautiful - a Grey Fantail is sitting on a thin twig - in a wink of the eye the bird is gone, clean as a whistle. The air is still fresh and the ligh is still warm and beautiful, and I keep standing still .... taking flight shot is a tricky business.

 

I took a twig to a nearby nusery and was told that it is a Kunzea Ericodes, commonly known as Burgan or White Tea Tree. It is an Australian native, the flower is white.
