This is the bonus. I strongly believe that these chicks are superb-fairy wrens (Malurus cyaneus).They are spotted in the same area as the adults although not brave enough to come out in the open yet. The feature of left one is very similar to a female grown-up.

During the recent short trip to Penrith, NSW, I ended up by the Nepean River, where bird communities cluster around. At least four bird species are spotted from just along the footpath. Superb-fairy wren (Malurus cyaneus) is one of them. The brighter blue a male gets, the more macho he looks, especially in breeding seasons.

Blossom white roses in Woodriff Gardens, Penrith, NSW. In fact, it was a bit tricky to get the shot without aphids as pest. However, the garden turns into the pest’s heaven as well as their predators’— ladybugs.
Rose garden is full of aphids therefore it is not hard to find their predators—ladybugs. I think it is a wise way to control pests.
