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 is the second of four posts which I'll need to cover 111 photos. Some species have both male and female photos where appropriate and if I had photos.
