Piwakawaka.

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.
