Looking through the ABG it looks better for a male and female.

Thanks Shorty. I saw some others suggesting territorial behaviour, so its really interesting to know there's 2 now. Could be a chance of breeding?

@natureguy, the birds were calling and bobbing their heads. I think with the cold change tomorrow they may think it was a bad idea to come here :)

Thanks for your observations, very interesting, and yes perhaps they may not enjoy the cooler weather, maybe they'll pack their bags and head north again.
