Well done Peter, may be I'll get down to see it this weekend - looks like it must be showing at close range??

That's the type of bird we consider as a dream for a bird watcher in Canada and probably North America. Great shot. Thank you for sharing such a nice image.

Great shot Peter. This is a hard bird to find let alone photograph. Well done. V
