Songbirds - a second look (part 1)

   
Yes, it's another second look at my old photos and this time it took an age to look through them and decide what was worthy of inclusion. Today it's basically songbirds from a folder named Small Birds and this might be the first of four posts I'll need to cover 111 photos. Some species have both male and female photos where appropriate and if I had photos.

I'll continue to edit this post over the next few days, when I can.
