    That photo is superb, Beryl! Wish it were mine!

    (Did you get the whole reflection of the lower bird in the original pic too?)

    One of my favourites so far!

    Thanks Catherine.
    Unfortunately no with the reflection . Things were happening so fast they were all nipping each other's rear-ends and honking at each other it was quite a site. Never seen such squabbling

    Take another look, Beryl!

    I think they are actually playing football!

    The ball is clearly there below the LH bird's right foot, isn't it?
