Cheers Matt, I adore them! I have been studying a pair for a couple of weeks and keeping away from them because of disturbance and the law etc. But I just sit down well away and they have approached within 2 feet of me and carried on hunting without a care.

Lovely picture.
I too have never seen one. We have just returned from Corsica where they are allegedly to be found, but the weather was so bad we hardly saw any birds.
