  5. Nice looking bird - I like the metal blue heads of the males.

    Sorry about the much delayed reply - I've been in the UK for a month and I let the blog sit on the back burner - normal service will resume soon!

  12. Du tar så himla fina bilder. Fåglarna på mina bilder blir som små knappt synliga flugor - jag har inte tålamod att komma dem tillräckligt nära.
