Thank you for all the kind words. Conditions where not great and I was shooting a long combo so its one of those thing that you dont know what you have got until you look at them. I was happy with most but alas the ones I really wanted where a bit poof. I shoot these and the Malachites hand held and got lucky.
 
Always a favourite,Colin.Thanks for pointing out the difference in this subsp(were not aware of it before,but quite obvious now,thanks to you)
