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.
 
Thanks for the comments. We were looking through photos from a couple of years ago when we found this and had not yet ID's it. It was taken mid November.
