“Bobby Dazzler” is the latest addition to my collection of Splendid Fairywrens.

The male Splendid Fairy Wren when dressed in his courtship suit is a very glitzy little bird who sings out to be painted and placed on display.

There is no false modesty attached to the Splendid Fairy Wren.  The Male in breeding plumage shimmers in electric shades of violet blue, turquoise and pale blue with dramatic Zorro-like markings.  Whilst the female remains a very un-splendid brown.

Fun fact about Fairywren’s:

• Male splendid fairywrens have another interesting habit during the breeding season. They will build “dummy nests” near their real nest in an attempt to confuse predators.

Thank you to wildlife photographer Jenifer Mac Photography for graciously providing the reference photo as inspiration for this oil painting.
