You can tell it's a male because of the colour - the male in breeding plumage has a striking bright blue forehead, ear coverts, mantle, and tail, with a black mask and black or dark blue throat. Non-breeding males, females and juveniles are predominantly grey-brown in colour
2 questions. 1: how do you know it's a male? 2: why superb fairy wren?
Just a darling Rachael :)
