Absolutely gorgeous set of bird captures Gary!
I can see why the Bee-eater is so successful; what a beak and perfectly evolved for his feeding tasks.
The Monarch shown in your 4th capture is just too cute all balled up in it's nest. That is a very special capture as is the portrait at the end.
Love the markings and coloration on the Cuckoo too. Fabulous capture there too.
Excellent job!
