They're stunners these, aren't they Broc. And I was so lucky to be able to see some a year ago!!!

That's a marvellous picture you've taken of this wee guy lad - many thanks for showing him to us.

It's wonderful to see you posting your pictures again - I hope you've been keeping well over this last difficult year.

Thank you Delia. Yes it has been a while! I remember my first post in 2005 when I was then active in digiscoping with a Canon 20D! My last post I see was in 2013. It has been an eventful 7 year absence and I hope (my thanks to Nora) that my Birdforum "fire" has been re-lit. I look forward to posting again and to renewing contact with many Birdforum friends and making new ones.
 
Hi there, what a way to start, beautifully taken, that lens is certainly doing the job, exceptional!
Thanks for sharing, stay safe!
