    These little fellows were not quite as elusive as normal, even though I was with one of the dogs.

    They are nice birds. I LOVE that last photo - it's very atmospheric.

    Thanks all, yes, I like the last one as well, using it as wallpaper on my desktop at the moment.

    Strange how the out of focus areas look different when using different lenses of similar length, I generally prefer the Bokeh achieved with my Sigma 50-500, but that shot was with the 70-300mm Olympus Zuiko lens and it works well on the foreground and background.

    Excellent shots Rolf, I assume the birds are not at all colour blind then, or do they have a chameleon gene or two
