Great selfie. Can't tell that you're panting! 😄

That's the one, Martin. Pretty much central in each photo. Inner primaries have quite contrasty outer (dark) and inner (grey) webs, giving rise to what's often referred to as the 'Venetian blind effect'. Nice white head on that bird too. 👍

But yes, you're right, loads of potential for something heart-stopping. 😊

Ha, so it does! Thanks Steve, and don't be sorry - that's a lifer! Though it makes me wonder if it's not the first time I've misidentified one of those. 😄👍

Thanks, Stephen. Yes, I believe feathers will do the trick, also poo if there's genetic material present.

Good point re 'gen det'
