Blue Wren. The Superb Fairy-wren is tiny at only 14cm, mostly tail. The breeding male has pale blue crown, ear coverts and mantle, bordered by black eye stripe, nape and rump. The throat and breast are iridescent dark blue-black. It has a loud accelerating trill and sharp contact call and lives in almost any dense low cover from salt marsh to domestic gardens.
