Hi Phillip,

Good to see the return of these lovely birds.

I like all the subtle green tones in the image, it's a bit of a shame the BG is in two halves but it does'nt really distract.

Well Done

Regards

Rob

Hi Phillip

I'm a bit jealous, I tried to get a few shots of these a few days ago and didn't even get a 'keeper' Not easy, but you 'nailed' this one I like it!

The BG does distract me slightly -saying that, I'd be pleased to have this as is!! Very nice indeed.
