A super flight shot Stanley. I must get some lessons off you!!!;)

Quite an impressive beastie, isn't he.

Very well done my friend.

Great flight-shot! Are these the birds with the strange-looking "bridle" over their bills? Nice to see one from a whole other angle. I get so distracted by that bill that I'd never noticed the plumage |=)|
