I got lucky as they are pretty rare in these parts.This female has caused quite a stir locally with both birders and photographers, can`t says its the cutest bird ive ever seen but it was worth the wait.

Wow, nice shots Carlton! These take me back a few years as I used to see them regularly when I lived in N. Ireland. Since I moved to England in 1989 I have never seen one.
