Fantail

Standing still in the shadows just inside the back door, I watch a fantail swoop back and forth across the rectangle of light which is flickering with tiny flying insects. Now and then she hovers right in front of me, fearless or perhaps just unaware of my presence. I am so quiet that I can hear the tap of her beak as she snaps snacks on the wing.
