Okay, so this is a quick one. I went to South Golden Beach to do some beach worming. As always, I brought my camera, and I got some unexpected results.

We were walking back to the car with no luck when a pair of Sacred Kingfishers flew over my head and started calling.

At the same time, a group of Variegated Fairywrens flitted in the bushes, among them 3 males. These beautiful wrens have a more vibrant blue than the Superb Fairywrens, and some rufous on their backs. I never dreamed I would get these photos.

After we arrived at Ocean Shores, we decided to do a bit of fishing and so I let my sister use my camera and these were her results!

This is not a bad place to go birding and, if you’re lucky like me, you will get to see some beautiful wrens.
