Dikkop Dad and chicks.

One seems to be running around quite a bit, the other is hiding under Dads feathers, only a leg is visible.

Dikkop Dad looks like he's giving a lecture and Dikkop chick looks like he's heard it all before :)

Love your bird shots. I am surrounded by pretty and colourful birds here too at the moment but I haven't managed to get a shot of them yet :-)

Well done indeed. Not easy to do considering the camouflage of the bird.

[Rosie Kind]

So lovely. What gorgeous birds they are Fav

[Sally Ings]

Wonderful details. So cool to be able to watch them grow up.

[Henri Russell]

Great capture. I love that extra leg.
