I used to get doazen of these in my garden a few years ago, but now I see them very rarely. This was taken at Eastney Beach where they congregate near a take-away van.

that's astonishing, Keith! Pink, green, orange, purple, what incredible colours.

He's got his beady eye on you, though.

If I beat you on the processing front Keith you leave me well behind when it comes to images like this ... you have a real gift for framing a shot and showing nature at its best! :)

What a cutie and this shot is so clear and perfect! I've only seen black ones, here, I think they're always considered a pain in the neck.
