heavy pied diamond firetail young -with photo

[wildbill]

this little guy emerged from the nest today. very flighty so rthis is the only photo i took but hopefully better to follow.
parents are still feeding the others. nicely marked and my very first heavy pied. no front bar - white around the head - white wing tips and tail.

Wonderful news on the baby....hope to see pictures as he matures!!!

[wildbill]

thanks all, i will try to get a far better photo of this youngster tomorrow. had a better look around two hours later and it's one of the nicest and most attractive pied i have ever seen.
so will keep finger crossed for a good photo to come
