Excellent shots, great colour rendition, sharp, the last two are the best IMHO.

Lovely shots of a gorgeous bird Don - I really like them both !

We also had one around here recently (not the same but still a mannikin)

Can't post it here because it wasn't taken with a Pentax but here is a link to the Scaly Breasted Munia/Mannikin (Nutmeg Finch) :

Thanks all for the comments.
I can see the resemblance in your bird Kevin, got to be cousins

I think 1 for me, those dark clouds are a stand out.
How do you find pro x5? i have 4 and wondered if the upgrade was worth it.

Love that blue tit, I notice the band on the leg, is that normal for wild birds in the UK now?
