Great shot, funny as one turned up here yesterday too...haven't seen them since December. Great shot though. I took one at ISO 6400 1/30 f5.6 in the rush I forgot I was doing some very low light video the night before....was a little over exposed!

I wish I could get one of these in MY back garden ! All I get are tits, robins, sparrows, starlings and squirrels !

Lovely shot.
