Another cracker from LHI Ken. Such a lovely pose you captured here. You've shown some great plumage detail too.

We don't have a picture of a juvenile in The Opus, so I'll upload this one to the article shortly.

Many thanks for sharing him with us my friend.
 
A brilliant close up of this youngster, Ken.
