This little troupe has taken to passing through the garden each day but rarely stop where I can get a clean shot. They were being fed by the mother but she was far too quick for me.....she feeds the chicks whilst hovering.

Thanks everybody and glad you enjoyed them. :D

These are just resized large JPEGS. The third one needs a little cloning to dull down the bright area behind the trio....it's just a gap through the trees....but definately cute.

Great series Bob, not an easy bird to see as they nest pretty high up a fir tree. Hats of to you for a job well done.

Superb set of shots, great to see pics of the babies. They are just the sweetest little bird we have I reckon :-)

Thanks folks.....having just retired, I'm finally getting a little more time to indulge myself and play the waiting game if need be.

Cheers Bob
