    It must be lovely to have these delightful little creatures visiting your garden. I love the way he's posing so nicely for you.

    Another great photo! We don't have these, so I'm especially glad to see a close-up picture of a bird I'd only see in books. Thank you!

    I love his colour. Almost looks like he's made of copper.

    The red didn't show up as much as it can at times. They just have to be in the right position to flash the red. This picture shows it better and also the female. You have to spend a lot of time training them to get a decent picture.
