Aren't they pretty!!

A lovely picture you've got of this waxbill John - very well done.
 
The birds I've seen of this species were no longer than my thumb. Even if notwithstanding, this photo truly does it justice: clarity, color, the grassy setting, and spread of it's tail feathers.
 
What a great looking bird John! superb detail, pose and setting...very well done :t:
