The three week wait paid off with superb shots, as usual. I especially like #1 because of the colorful background behind a perfectly focused bird, and also #2. Very nice work.

I won't disagree. They're coming through my way too, now. I have a few shots but nothing so fine as these. TFS.

They are very cooperative birds.
Once they get in to the berries, nothing will sway them, gluttonous that they are.

Great series Harish,

Love this species. Haven't seen any since I got my K5 but managed a few with my old K10 and an M 400/5.6.

Can't recall how long it took to get the images but it was quite a while as I recall.
