Familiarity

The fantails were about the house again this afternoon, and getting pretty confident too.  

One flitted about in a tree nearby asI brushed the leaves (yes, it's beginning to feel a lot more autumnal) so I stopped, held out my hand and did my best impersonation of a fantail squeak.  S/he didn't seem to think twice before hopping through the branches towards me and whilst s/he didn't come to my hand, s/he was happy to flit for a short while just inches away.

I know I've posted lots of these images lately, but they really are winning my heart :)
