Very nice Snappy. Don't really get that many around here and they are lovely colourful birds.

Thanks Bob, that was the best view I have had for a long time. At the reserve they are more often in the tops of the silver birch trees.

Thanks Linda . I hadn't seen any close up, then two flew low over my head
