Glad you got a photo Nick. When I was there I could hear it singing but couldn't see it in the foliage for long enough - then when I did, a car went past and it flew up and I lost it in the top of the trees. Pleased its still there - no sign of a female then.

No sign of a female but the bird was investigating a nest box.
