Hi Keith - just beginning to visit all my favourite blogs. Lovely selection as usual and don't those rather damp Tits look sorry for themselves.

Lovely Mrs. P shot! Hope the weekend goes well ;)

You are the birdman.. these beauties are always in perfect focus for you. And as always, you have the best photos.

I like the Willow Warbler surrounded by the red berries, Keith.
Do you really find the lady Pheasant "beautiful"? I can't make up my mind as she is obviously not a classic beauty... :-)

John.

The pheasant is a real show stealer they usually look so drab.

Hilary, thank you. Very kind of you to say :)

Thanks Petra. Yea, I have a soft spot for Pheasants; but every bird is special in its own way.

Thank you John :)

Cheers Adrian :)
