A strange challenge, but just right for this photo, where patterns and colours are pleasing but focus is just not quite there!
This is a common Australian bird, but has so far evaded my focus! This image was taken on my recent trip to the Central West, walking through the little town of Millthorpe late one evening when light was fading. I have always known this medium sized bird as a Peewee, but it is also called a Mud Lark, or officially a Magpie Lark.

This picture is really nice Christine, especially since it’s so hard to capture a bird as they are always in motion. It’s enough in focus to see the bird clearly but enough unfocused to see the movement of the bird!
thank you for such an encouraging comment …. i new i wanted to keep the image as i liked it, even though it was not quite clear
