A couple of birds out of a small flock of about forty that are causing quite a stir locally, their favoured tree is bang in the middle of a busy town centre, adjacent to the main bus station and opposite a supermarket entrance. Great to see them ,only wish they were residents and chose better feeding stops.

Very nice shots Carlton. Surprising how small they are after only seeing pics of them.

Beautiful shots Carlton! I've always enjoyed pictures of birds in their environment and you've captured that perfectly here!
