Cheeky little birds. They can get a surprising number of maggots in their beaks at once when feeding young. :grin:

Thank you.
Were you using a remote shutter release or something more sophisticated?

Whew !!! ££2.5-3k for just a camera and lens, still if its your hobby why not, and with results like your Chaffy I can understand why.
