A (Probably) Superb Fairywren male and female seen in near Dwaalindjirraap Bridge, Lane Poole Reserve, Nanga Road, Dwellingup.
There were two other females/juveniles hopping around closely, forming a little family group.
This may have been the first time I've managed to get some decent photos of a bird as small and flighty as this fairy wren.
I think this is a male in his "eclipse plumage", i.e. the less colourful feathers they wear outside of the breeding season.
Unrelenting fossil fuel addiction, cats and sprawl eradicates the superb fairywrens off the face of the earth
Australia’s superb fairywren could be extinct within decades due to climate crisis, researchers say
"The paper found “population extinction is likely to happen very fast; within the next 30–40 years in the intermediate and very high [carbon] emission scenario...Using various climate models, we found that human-induced climate change is likely to cause a high risk of population extinction within the next 50 years, even with optimistic emission scenarios." >>
