Is that the mainland or Tasmanian edition? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superb_Fairywren
Interesting bio; the male brings the female flowers, appears with her as a pair in public, but privately they both have their way with anyone and everyone, and proudly raise the bastard children.

# Mainland version.
They're great fun to watch, but hard work to get photos of.

Forrin wren?

# Forrin indeed.
Australia and PNG have the above birds that look superficially like wrens, but are more closely related to crows. They make a lovely twittering noise and hang around in families:

I've got another two species to do in a similar style as part of a commission.
Also had my first proper drawing published in a magazine the other week, which was nice. Hopefully get another in the next issue as well as a regular slot.

There was this really cool word I learnt once which meant seeing something (a phrase, a concept), remembering it, then much later on using it without realising that it's not your own idea... something like 'retromnesia' or something.
Seems appropriate that I've forgotten the word, now I think of it...
