What a wonderful start to your Gallery and a cracking picture too.

This is such a rare species to see in here Monkir - I'll add this picture to The Opus article as we don't have a juvenile in there as yet.

Many thanks for sharing it with us.

Do you think you could advise when you saw him please.
