I have finally found out what these birds are that have been visiting our yard in droves this winter.  They are really bold and quite pretty.  They are called Varied Thrush.

Very attractive birds PC, I'd not come across them  before - incidentally I had to look them up on a search engine as your picture 'misfired'. (apart from the black edges).

The picture's just come through again, maybe PC made some adjustment to it. I know Buntings, too.

Hmmm.  Maybe I'd better look up buntings.

I get nothing resembling the birds I saw under the search for bunting.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/n020.gif" border=0]

  Now I'm back to square one trying to figure out what these things are.

No...it's not those lil fellers, Michel.  Those look like sparrows.  These are a little bigger than a robin.

Yea...they're a bit bigger than robins.  There are boodles of them.  It's just odd, that after all the years that I've been here, I've never seen them and now they're everywhere.  They're quite pretty.

Documentaries on nature that's fake? Wow. Never knew about that one. I like the Fifth Estate, it's honest and very well done.

  BTW, I just looked at the trailer for Planet Earth. Wow! I'll have to get the DVD one day.

  Does anyone know who sings it?

Wow...that's a beautifully done trailer.  Imagine 15+ hours of this beauty.

  That song in the trailer, combined with the magnificent footage filled me with emotion. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif" border=0]
