Thats a great pic.....They are quite stunning when you actually look at them close. We regularly have a group come and gang rape our feeders.....

Very cute even if it looks a bit too brightly multicoloured. Curiosity on my part, handheld or on tripod?

Handheld I rarely use a tripod unless it involves a long wait for a specific species

Lovely plumage colours, which isn't always obvious when the cheeky buggers are nicking all the food off the feeders!
