Birds Cold snap

Snow fell low in my alpine valley yesterday - and this is well into spring down under.

It drove lots of forest birds down and out and they're working flat out to get enough to eat.

These are some of them.

Wonderful shots of these birds. I do find our Grey Fantails here are always on the move.
Making it very hard to put full shot together. So well done on that one alone.
The Yellow-faced Honeyeater that you have is one we don't get so its good to see one.
Well done on this set.
