Red-backed Fairy Wren - signed edition print Ed. 3 of 250

This little Australian native cutie frequents waterway vegetation. The blue Fairy Wrens are more common than this variety. In sunlight when walking at Hartman's Park at Crow's Nest outside Toowoomba, out of the corner of my eye I saw a brilliant colour. I then honed in onto this delightful little bird and enjoyed a long time with it as it went about it's day. This cutie and their habitat need conservation and protection. I couldn't help want to paint it, it is simply another of our unique Australian gorgeous birds.
