Gosh... that's a new bird on me Phil, not heard of it before. This is only the fourth image to come in - the last one arrived in 2010!!!

A super image it is too, and quite an improvement on the currently displayed on in the Opus, so I'll upload your one there shortly.

What a great find for you; many thanks for sharing it with us.
