Mmmmm.... isn't he a wee sweetie Chris! Reminds me of the shape of a Robin!

A super picture you've taken of lad - excellent work.

Just realised... this must be a female, and we don't have one in The Opus as yet (in fact we only have three pictures of this species in the Gallery!), so I'll add this lovely picture to the article.

A great find for you!
