Aren't they stunning birds Don!!! And a super picture you've taken of them lad.

As I've worked out which subspecies they are, and it's a different one from the current picture, I'll upload your lovely picture to The Opus article shortly. Many thanks for sharing it with us.

I know it's been two years but these are weird times and I find I have time to relive memories. So, what ssp is it? I figure goodsoni.
