These two come to the lawn in front of the kitchen twice a day.

Winter feeding for whom?!
A nice scene and not a bird I've seen before

Haven't heard them called frenchies since my Grandad!! Guessed what you meant by the title though so he must have taught me something (he inspired my childhood birdwatching)
Not bad daily garden visitors to have either!

A lovely detailed shot John - we see them frequently in this area - they are bred to be shot!!
