This time the male, i think these are young birds, they are very approachable and their colours seem very pastel to adult plumage.

D700 Sigma 500mm @f4.5 plus 20mm ext. ISO800. With onboard flash as i was shooting into the sun.

Hi Paul, lovely colours and detail in this one, like the pose as well, OOF twigs in the BG are a little distracting, nice shot though.

Andy... :smile:

Nice one Paul. What attractively coloured birds they are when seen up close like this. :smile:
