Fits perfectly

Cute birds :)

[Sally Ings]

@tigerdreamer indeed Karen they are. There are three different kinds found in Southern Africa. They are normally found in groups flitting from tree to tree and difficult to get a decent picture of them. So I was quite pleased to find this bunch sitting in the morning sun!

[Suse♡]

Awww so cute! LOVE the hair!!

[Debs Stott]

How on earth did you get them sitting still? Great achievement, well done. They look lovely in the morning light.

[Leon Buijs]

@dibzgreasley Haha Debs, I think they may have been defrosting! It was fairly chilly.

[summerfield]

Fabulous shot and what strange looking birds, They look as though they are having a bad hair day. ha ha.
Know what you mean about not picking up the camera. I was like that when we got back from our trip in March too. You get photo'd out when you are away don't you.
