An image of a tiny Large-billed Scrubwren feeding on a leaf suspended from a spiders web in the rainforest understorey. The tiny bird was only on the leaf for about 5 seconds. It was one of those situations where you point, shot and hope for the best. Photo taken in the Atherton Tablelands, north Queensland

    I love the moment captured. It gives us that rare and much appreciated opportunity to witness those treasures Nature offers for a brief, brief moment.

    The delicate, almost impossible balance among cobweb, leaf and pretty bird is breathtaking. The natural light at an angle on both corners enhances the bird’s perch stance.

    Thank you Robert, it thrilled me.
