A little Crested Tit perches on a branch with small red autumn leaves below it.  Its body is facing forward, with the head turned slightly to the viewer's right.  The grey crest is pointed sharply upward, indicating alertness.  The bird has black eyes and a tiny black beak, a black "mask," and a black streak down from the lower part of the beak joined to a thin black "scarf" around the neck.  The crest, head, and face are light grey, while the breast is white with faint touches of peach, and the back and wings are soft light brown.  The long brown tail isn't visible in the photograph.

The photographer is Jari Peltomäki.

Prompt 10: Tiny
-> Weebill

The weebill is Australia's tiniest birb. With a body length of only 10cm (3.1-3.5in), it is just as long as your average playing card. It's t i n y!

It is found throughout Mainland Australia (except Tansania) in woodlands. There are four subspecies and their plumage varies slightly in colour; the more tropical the region they inhabit, the more yellowish their feathers are.

Photo of the Day : Ruby Red

🖼️📸 Photo of the Day! I took several nice pictures of this fearless little fella a couple years ago. He allowed my camera lens to get just inches from him. Hummingbirds are so beautiful and brave. 🕊️🐦✨

Pardy party time! The Striated Pardalotes have moved back into our upstairs walls for breeding season & will spend the next 6 months singing & dancing outside my study windows.

As they're so tiny and as any time some will be in the walls, some on a nearby tree and others out foraging for food I don't know how many there are but it's more than 10 and they sing their repetitive little song all day. 🎶🎶🎶It's lucky they're so adorable. 😂

Photo of a tiny bird standing on a thin branch with its back to the camera but head side-on, doing its breeding dance.

Its right wing is held out, showing thin black feathers with a white dot at the end of each, and yellow marks toward the shoulder. The left wing is held halfway out and the tail is splayed.

Its head has a short black beak, the eye is golden brown, the chin and front of eyebrow are bright yellow and the rest of the head has various black and white markings. its back is fawn-coloured.Photo looking up at two striated pardaloted perching side-by-side in a lichen-covered tree. The undersides, which aren't visible in the previous photo are pale with brigh yellow highlighs that look like they have been sprayed on.Closeup photo of another striated pardalote perching on my house's gutter, leaning forward so only the shoulders and upper body are visible.Photo of another striated padalote, side-on and perching on a thin lichen-covered stick.

Its beak is slightly open, so it would have been singing at the time the photo was taken.

This tiny mighty fighter was the sole owner of my backyard and all of its flowers and sugar feeders.

Striated Pardalotes nest in the walls of my house from August to January then disappear for 6 months, but this year they've come back for a March pardy party.
