Thanks Martin, but I had a few things against me.
Sun was in the wrong position for a start, and these are not as tame as some of the other birds that visit.
Also, hand held and a big lens. No time for a tripod!
Still, as it was the first time I have seen them here in the 12 years I've lived on my 5 acres, it was better than nothing.
I use a 500mm lens on my Nikon D70s, so it does allow me a few close images when everything comes together.
Ian.
