The mistletoe eating bird. The were several
One making a lot of noise in the tree Sounding like a wooden rattle used at football matches. Probably alerting the others another sitting on the railing rattling back(Could be the males)
The others collection juicy worm and nesting materials the were about 4 or 5 all told. here are a few

A big collection of birds, it must have been nice to see so many together.

[Chocky]

Yes.It was.
I was quite amazed to see so many in one go as was some one I was talking to was as well. They seamed to be every where one was down on the embankment of the brook and we saw it chase off a female blackbird quite aggressively.too
They must have all just arrived

Yes, a lot to see at one time, like the shot with the worm.

[Chocky]

Yes
Got three shots of the one with the worm but I thought only one was needed as it was the same bird that time. I tried to get more than one in the frame but they wouldn't get close enough.

The fifth one was jumping . Maybe it was jumping on a worm . Who knows

Nice shots, Beryl!

The one with the worm is really good, and and the one with nesting material is a great capture - made me laugh!

[Chocky]

Thanks Catherine.
I managed two shots of the one with nesting materials. She was almost poking her eye out in the other one
Here it is
