You'd think he'd be well into developing his breeding garb just now, wouldn't you Stanley.... I hope he's OK?

A fabulous picture you've taken of him my friend - thanks lad.

Yes, I thought so. However there was a flock of about 100 birds and the best I could tell none were in breeding plumage. Just when you think you know something, the rug gets pulled out from under you (lol). Cheers! Stanley
