It was just after sunrise and I was trying to attract some Red-backed Fairywrens when this inquisitive cisticola popped its head up.

Rob.
This looks very tiny indeed, nice lighting and great background, although I might consider taking a little from the bottom.

Superb shot Rob. Love the soft light and dew drops on the webs. I might crop a little off the top. Congrats on WP.
