Limpy, That is a fabulous collection of photos of truly gorgeous birds--thanks for posting! And I would not call that getting carried away--I'd be happy to see many more photos of each of them! As Hazel says, here is wishing that you and Clare and Helen have a lovely Christmas and I look forward to more wonderful photos from you and Clare in the new year.
Kind regards, Ann
