These trees are over our back fence and add to that its blowing very strongly. I dont think the bird could hear the camera all past attempts they have flown away.

Well, that has to be a feral species over there! A good capture, Steve, I'm surprised they've flown previously as (usually) it takes a lot to frighten them.

And the very same here as well BUT way late they have have made it home, I think the wind and the Quiet shutter on the D810 got me through this lot . It was still 100 shots while the two of them walked the Flowers within the tree.

many thanks they certainly are very colour full they are also just as noisy. I did not see them at first but could hear them why I got the camera and long lens out. they enjoy the flowers as you can see.
