Rhipidura albiscapa
The Grey Fantail is most easily recognised by its constantly fanned tail and agile aerial twists and turns. Both sexes are similar in appearance: grey above, with white eyebrow, throat and tail edges. This species is quite inquisitive and will closely approach an observer.

Have had a pair of these birds visiting my yard and a neighbours over the last few days. Plenty of insects for them to eat.
This is my second time putting a spotting up of this bird. First one was from back in April. Have seen them a number of times in recent weeks, but this is the first decent pics I've managed to get of them. As they are very fast moving, and don't sit still for very long.
