OMG!!!! I'm not surprised you're so pleased with this picture Nick... what a beautiful bird ... he's just gleaming, isn't he.

A super picture of such a rare visitor to the Gallery.

Very well done lad.

A most magnificant photo of a most magnificant bird

I would like to extend my thanks to you for taking it, and for my using it today to help illustrate an Opus article about the Albertine Rift.

It is appreciated!
