Grey fantail - Adelaide Hills




Birdlife Australia describes this little bird thus:

"The most restless of Australia’s fantails, Grey Fantails are almost continually on the move, constantly changing position when perched, the tail swished back and forth, fluttering about in the canopy of trees or darting out after flying insects. They seem never to keep still."

They're not kidding!
