Very nice 'greeting behaviour' caught there, lovely detail/colours of these beautiful/endearing birds, nice first post+welcome :wink: :wavey:

Welcome aboard Ray, no need to lurk :smile:

As Craig said, good behavioural shot. Would be tempted to add a bit more USM IMHO and clone out the grass area top right but that is only my thoughts. You will get truck load of advice here, just distill & keep posting.

BTW What camera are you using as that helps too.
