Thanks so much Rosa, I witnessed the same thing at exactly the same spot this morning, with a pair of house sparrows. I like your spelling!!! Cheers for the ☼

Thanks Andy. When I first glance at it on here it sure looks eye-catching. A pity that it was not sharper on the heads and eyes even though my camera was on a tripod. This was due to the low level lighting and my insistence at using this lens at its near best aperture of F8 so even at iso1000 it was still only 1/100th. OK for still subjects but not these quick moving moments. Ah well, glad you enjoyed it all the same.
