We have the same species in the UK, nesting on mountains and moorland and often seen at the coast in winter. We only have blue grey male and brown female.

One of my favourite birds!

@waywardmuse Apparently the trick is patience ... :-(

Thanks again ..

i always feed small birds in my garden and it attracts loads of birds of prey looking to eat the smaller birds, worth a go if you like watching birds.
