Nice one Snappy... can't be long until they start looking magnificent, can it? Nice drop of sun by the looks too

Ahh, just looked it up, rare to be a UK breeder, that's a shame. I think it was Slimbridge had one in full plumage a few years back when we were there visiting, in the walkthrough aviary

Thanks PB I have not seen one in full breeding plumage. One of those birds that never comes quite close enough...
