A daily photo from Ōtautahi, Christchurch, New Zealand
Captured while on my walk through Ferrymead Park. I often see fantails when I’m out walking, but I don’t normally have my camera. Well, last week I missed an awesome shot as I didn’t even have my smart phone with me. So, learning from that, today my camera came with me – and look what my reward was. I love these birds; they are just so daring and confident and entrancing.
I’ve seen bird photos and then I see this — over the top! Incredible capture!

Beautiful photo! Just gorgeous. You inspired me to go down to Woodham park a few weeks ago and take some photos of the kaleidscopes of butterflies there (on my website) 🙂
