@peadar This is them sitting in the shallows of the river. The first one I spotted was sitting on the pavement looking as if he was wearing a Mohican and had been in a fight as his feathers were stuck out everywhere.
@gilbertwood thanks. @busylady I agree; I feel that they are a bit verminous as they pinch all the bird seed and wander dirty streets, but actually appreciated the colours as I captured a few this day.
