These are all winners Garry... wonderful detail too.

Curious, did they have a screened aviary or was it all wide-open spaces? I was kind of assuming wide open spaces from your use of the 400mm... but wasn't sure.

Thanks Eric. All wide open spaces. Totally wild. When you approach they'll usually fly off but if you stand still and wait for them they'll come back and get pretty used to you. This was a patch of plants probably about 20'x20'. Two of the days I was there they were all over the plants. The other three days nothing.

Well Karl, that's just one of my silly hangups and can be traced back to my lifelong insecurities
