These are just awesome. Lovely subject and colours. You are lucky to have some sunshine there. It's been dark and dull here in Yorkshire.

Thank you for the comments everyone. Mag - I'm afraid that's the price you pay for living in God's own country - when you do get the light it can be awesome up there though!

Very pretty series of a very handsome little bird Mike!
The last 2 images gave me a good chuckle with the "what are you looking at" posture, but the first 2 images steal the show. I especially like the 2nd image with the combination of unique pose, interesting surrounds, and a killer background. The Chat in #2 seems to leap out of it's surroundings in a very pleasing way.
