Two whole days without rain here, which makes a change. Worth the trek as both the male and female were happy to pose for a while, i think the chance of a treat at the feeder station was just too inviting.

Super shots. These are usually difficult birds to photograph so extra points for that too.

Very nice, I always have a hard time with woodies, if I get the exposure right then I have a soft shot and vice versa. well done.
