Fantails are the cutest of dudes.





They never sit still, constantly flitting from here to there. And cheeky!
If a door is left open they will fly inside, have a good nosy then scoot out again much to the indignation of the cats.


This wee chap made himself useful by pecking the spiders on the weatherboards.


I got so close to him that I could have reached out and pulled a feather.

Very pretty. Poor spiders though.

Love that rear end view!

It's interesting, although they are so curious and fearless, I've never had a cat catch a fantail, while the poor little waxeyes always seem to be in the firing line.

Just had a thought - do female fantails have fan tails too - and if not what do they look like? better google...
