Neat capture, buddy - note that top two "looking down" on the third one (wonder what she did wrong).

Thanks Ash, I actually got caught in the rain taking the dog for a walk and that was the Tamron 70-200 . It was only spitting for a bit then once it came down I put it all back in bag and me the pooch got soaked comming home.

Thanks Jim - I don't know the beak looks a little different - I can't tell. I am pretty sure on the fist two.

Thansk Scott I was sure my dog was going to scare them away - but they must have been heavily involved in the scheme.

Oooh, Dave, I like this shot! It's a beauty. A couple of points: you might want to get rid of the dust spec on upper left near the border. And try the colour correction feature to see if you can bring back their true colours. Very nice, all the same.

Very funny. But, if they were females talking you had all the time to shot.

Thanks JMR - Yeah I did not notice that spot until after I uploaded. I have since used the Rocket Blower and it appears ok. Will give the color correction a go.

Wonderful "set-up"! Exotic coloured birds, what species they are?
