Lovely, Alan - no other birds come close for distinctiveness and agility. Only one report of a small group passing through locally so far. Maybe they'll move south when there are no berries left up your way, though they look to have plenty to feast on!
Super photos!

I've never seen one in real life!
None the less, this is a lovely set that both illustrates the bird and aspects of its behaviour.

There are some punchy reds and more subtle blues that give the images a distinctive tone.
It was interesting to see the exposure data ... I suspect these were shot using TAv ? Looks like the days of you worrying about high ISO and noise are long gone Alan.....
