Oh you lucky b* JJ!!! That's a wonderful picture you've taken of him lad.

I heard one deep in a bush, singing away! Then later saw a young one being fed... this was sort of in the open but in a very dark place and too far away for the tiny camera I had at the time. Ratbags!!!

Many thanks for showing him to us my friend.

Never seen 'our' one over here.
