Thanks Graham, I did try and catch them in flight but they weren't playing ball.

Nice find,

there were 3 of them on this wall.

Iv'e noticed they seem to like to roost together in the evenings. There are a few sheltered spots in the garden I can usually find a few dotting about in at the right time of year after about 7-8pm.
