Thanks Deanne - and always a pleasure to share them. Hopefully I can also be the one replacing my own "record shots" on Opus with much better quality ones.

What a fantastic trip Marcell; its great to see pics of these posted today - their "cousins" being so familiar to us down south. For me, this little chap must be the pick of the bunch! Well Done!

Thanks Alan - yes, it turned out to be a great trip. Probably my best view to date as well of this little skulker and what a beauty it turned out to be.
