WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

For me, one of the icons of the South-Eastern regions of Australia has to be the Superb Fairy Wren. I adore them! Whilst the male is not known for fidelity, he is definitely a cooperative breeder once committed and takes a full share of feeding and care of the brood. Young males from earlier broods and territorial relationships who have not bred might also take part in the care. 

The sound bite is a little longer than usual - but I also have another video for you which is a little shorter and still has the pretty 'peeping' sounds of the birds. Perhaps you have time to enjoy both today? (Capertee Valley was a favourite camping spot, back in the day. I was delighted to be reminded of it.)

  1. It's nice to hear that little peeping sound I'm so used to associating with wrens. My cat is paying no attention at all.

  12. I do enjoy listening to these sound clips of birds I've heard of but never seen or heard in the wild. It's so informative for me.
