What a pair of beauties these are Jim... such lovely intricate plumage markings.

A very fine image this one lad - many thanks for showing it to us.

I'm so sorry to hear you've had to postpone your UK trip... no doubt it will be all the sweeter when you're finally able to come.
 
Thank you everyone. I appreciate your comments. Yes, Delia, we are sorry too. We had our first trip to Europe (UK, Spain, Portugal) postponed from April and May of 2020 to same dates 2021. Hopefully the world will be "more normal" by then. Hopefully we will get to see some new (for us) "Old World" birds.

A fabulous double capture of these attractive wrens. Great lighting, focus, colors, feather detail, eye contact, and setting. First-rate Jim!
 
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and compliments. Cactus Wrens are among the most photogenic birds I have dealt with. Always doing something interesting.
