tegater 789 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Great pics and one of my favorite garden and farm birds, withb an unbelievable range of calls and mimics. I do feel guilty though as we used to shoot loads as kids, because they came on the fruit trees in the orchard knicking all the fruit in the summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
