Congratulations on your new bird then Chrstut!!! They're lovely, aren't they.

You really have got a great picture considering the awkward light you had.

Sadly I'm finding them really difficult to see up here now; the last one I saw was a juvenile about 3 years ago!

Many thanks for showing him to us lad.
 
Well done on your lifer! Lovely pose and background.
