    They really seem to like the berries on this tree, between them, the Pigeons and other birds, it is normally stripped in a few days.

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    Nice shots rolf, they just love berries don't they, makes me laugh when they eat the blue berries and then you see blue droppings

    Yes they certainly do Babs. I have a friend who used to park his car under a tree with blue berries and apart from the blue mess it made on his car, it also damaged the paintwork, needless to say, he no longer parks there.

    Great capture Rolf.
    I had a ring nck parrakeet and I gave her some bluebeerries in a dish. I think she thought she had to make wine because when I came home from work she had trampled them and her feet had changes colour and most of here feathers not to mention the wall by the cage.
