On a recent trip to Barraba Northern NSW, we saw plenty of Superb
Fairywrens in breeding plumage but one particular male had black wings
instead of the normal grey-brown wings. This was not a trick of the
light as we observed it for several minutes and managed to take a
digital photo and a video of it.
Does anyone if this occurs regularly or irregularly as I can find no
mention of it in the common field guides?
