One bird only, clearly visible by eye, but apologies phone camera lens was terribly under powered and unable to get a decent photo. Huge bright yellow head with red stripe clearly visible 100% ID confirmed in real life.

You win, Chris, I couldn't see it at all. I may have if I'd noticed the second image, but I'm still not used to the new format with the original image not showing underneath as a thumbnail, only additional images, so I'd assumed this sighting had just the single photo

Thanks guys! Hope you can trust me on this one. It was easily visible in real life and 100% clearly a superb, but I was cursing that I only had my phone camera on me!!! Can you kind of make it out in the 2nd image? I can see the yellow and red on the head, but I know exactly the way the bird was facing so it's kind of easier for me.

Yes you can sort of tell from the second pic. Its just that I didn't notice that there was a second pic.
Its good fun though trying to spot where the bird is. Its like those Where's Wally things but better
