Given that I am very much a DSLR newbie, I was not as depressed as usual when I got home and uploaded them to the complicater.

Any thoughts would be appreciated especially if they are more than two words.

Thanks for looking.

Nice captures, Oggy.

My pick is #3, well exposed and focus just right. But I wonder why the left bird in #2 looks kind of angry. Doesn't he like the food?
Best regards
Terry

Lovely shots, Like #3, well done.
Went out myself with my k10 and Sigma and all I shot was the dog trying to drown himself in a river! But it was nice to see that bright round thing in the sky!

like tham all, lovely birds, not sure what the first bird is, maybe chaf or brambling could be completely wrong, but love the greenfinches, Chaffinch. lovely and sharp and good colour.

Looks like a juvenile Siskin to me

Nice captures Oggy, I love the expression on the Greenfinch too.
