The New Zealand Fantail, Rhipidura fuliginosa, has a reputation as a very friendly creature. They often follow hikers through bush tracks, diving on any bugs that are disturbed by clumsy humans. They are magnificent acrobats & have the ability to perform amazing maneuvers in the hunt for flying insects.  Photo details: Canon 40D, ISO 800, 1/100th second exposure with a Canon EF 70-200mm IS USM lens @ f-2.8.
