OK! Now I am really jealous! LOL I can just about manage photographing birds stood on a rock or log (even then they not fully in focus!)

Great image, Mary!

Thanks folks for your encouraging comments and yes it is very rewarding to finally get a somewhat decent shot after making a lot of attempts. The males are territorial little things and if they show up at the feeder at the same time there is some sparring going on- now wouldn't that be a shot- two of them -both in focus and in action. Dream on, but may give it a try. Nonetheless they are engaging fellows to watch and am enjoying them immensely. Mary
