She's lovely Chris. You did well to spot her in there, didn't you.

I don't know if it's true, but I heard that the males depart our shores in the winter, but the females are inclined to hang around all year. Certainly I saw one in the garden about 19 years ago (the only one I've seen here). Unfortunately I didn't have a camera in those days.

What a great picture you've got of her.
