I had just about given up taking photos of fantails. They move so darn quickly and seem to taunt me. They also land on a branch near by and stay for about 3 seconds before flitting off. But I recently saw a friend’s photo of a fantail (a rather fabulous photo that is now jewellery) so I decided I just wasn’t trying hard enough.

I’ve been stalking the fantails in the Botanic Gardens but no luck there. Then yesterday, a fantail finally stopped long enough for me to grab a shot. I’m certainly keen to keep trying for even better shots.
