Delightful composition, they must like sour food a olives from a tree are horrid!

[Anjali]

@vega @padders @pittcj17 @pennystot @anjalikoli @teiko @cimes1
thankyou all for your lovely comments and favs. I tried to get a pic of about 30 of these birds pecking in the grass but before I could get them in focus two little children raced up with their dog and scared them off! Anyway I liked the ones I caught of them in the trees better

[Yao RL]

How lucky you have captured them chatting.

@yaorenliu thanks for commenting on my pics Yao. Its great to know someone has taken the time to look. We have a lot of these birds around at the moment but they're a bit camera shy :)
