Excellent picture, I photographed a pair in Weeting Heath UK but had to use a teleconverter so the quality was no where near as good, are these birds common in OS?

Oh Trevor, he looks so miserable! ;) Great work, this is a beautiful shot of this bird! I've never seen one, so I appreciate the photo.
