These guys are surprisingly difficult to capture.

EDIT: Actually, if you feed them (I don't), they are very easy.

These little guys are quick, but if you feed 'em, you can get all sorts of great shots.... They're very bold little things & will land on your hand....

Extra credit to you for getting this lovely portrait without drawing the birds to you!

I wish people wouldn't feed them from their hands, these guys have a habit of flying at my eyes (expecting a hand-out no doubt) which usually spooks me badly.

Anyhow, sorry to go off-topic, thanks for the comments.
