Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Splendid Fairy Wren - Lake cargelligo - Spt 05 089.JPG will be appearing as picture of the day on August 14, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-08-14. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 00:04, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Splendid Fairywren
A male Splendid Fairywren (Malurus splendens), a passerine bird found throughout much of Australia. This individual is engaged in the 'face fan' courtship display, in which he flares his blue ear tufts by erecting the feathers. The species exhibits a high degree of sexual dimorphism: males in breeding plumage are brightly coloured, whereas non-breeding males, females and juveniles are predominantly grey-brown; this gave the early impression that males were polygamous as all dull-coloured birds were taken for females.Photo: Nevil Lazarus
