Fantail by the river
This little fellow spent most of yesterday afternoon feeding on tiny flying insects down by the river in front of my house. He would perch of the same dead branch bent out over the water, watching and waiting for his prey. Occasionally he would dart off and pluck an insect, almost to small to detect with human eyes, from the air in mid flight. Fantails are incredible aviators and almost impossible to photograph in the air. Trust me I've taken thousands of photos of empty airspace trying. One day I'll fluke it.

I'm curious to know - what does this little soul look like in color? Look at that beautiful tail and cap!
