My previous post was mainly WOW due to these little birds, another first for me in images. On my climb to see the Hares, i came across a small flock of these guys (and gals) they where great to watch, and seemed to pretty much ignore me, and even got too close for my 500 to focus on a couple of occasions! These little birds have jumped up my list of favourite UK birds.
