Hi Neil - really great shot, loved it. I stumbled upon your spottings by chance, and took liberty to include this one in few relevant missions. Hope you don't mind my intervention. Cheers
My father used to read us the Kipling story about the mongoose and his battle with the Cobras.
Kewl!
What a capture. Lovely photos. Thanks for sharing.
