Thanks PB :) I didn't find many this year.

Nice one Snappy. A very pretty bird, both male and female. Not seen one for a while. Get the odd one in the local valley but mostly up on the moors.

Thanks Bob, I have seen them mostly on the cliff tops in Cornwall, always pleased to get a photo of them.
