Grey fantails flit around the trees and rarely sit still. I was VERY fast with the camera and caught a couple of shots of this little beauty near the salt caves dam in the Pilliga scrub - our next stop after the Warrumbungles walks. The Pilliga is a million acres of forest that is famous for birds and wildflowers, criss-crossed by many bumpy, sandy tracks but very accessible and with some beautiful bush camping areas.
Thanks for the info on this as I would have almost sworn that it was a sparrow, but my birdbook bears out your Id, Well done all round.
