another very good shot Derek ... you always post to a very high standard

but of course I'd prefer one without the peanut shells!!!

That's a really great shot Derek, nicely composed with some good detail.

Thanks for the comments so far from everyone.
Just for Bill, quite a distant capture and large crop, so not as sharp.

Great shots Derek. Get one of these coming in to my garden and it's a delight to see such a beautiful bird.

Great shots Derek, the feather detail in the first is excellent
