@Annepersonal Here's a male

@ThingsCanberra Am I right in thinking this is a female? Have the males in Canberra started losing their summer coloured feathers?

@Annepersonal Yes, it's a female. I haven't seen males with all their blue feathers for a while

These birds don't stay still for long - grey fantail

Small bird, big mouth - yellow thornbill, Jerrabomberra Wetlands

@SVFAV1 I'm not entirely sure why some birds have bristles nature.com/articles/s4159…

@ThingsCanberra Amazing photo What are the bristles for? Do fantails climb up and down tree trunks? I saw an unfamiliar bird with a fan-like tail doing that in my backyard a few weeks ago and wondered, fantail?

A grey fantail - If you look closely you can see the bristles either side of its beak
