Aaaah!!! I wondered if you two knew each other - it's great meeting up with other birders in the area, isn't it.

What a great find for you RKA - this is the first picture to come in for this species for over 5 years!!! And the first flight shot too.

I'll upload it to The Opus shortly. Many thanks for sharing it with us laddie.
