It's a beauty and obviously a survivor too.

Looks like it has been attacked and survived. Great shot. Diane

Just realised that our orange tip is quite different in Europe. They are almost white with a distinct orange tip, or the male is, the female appears to have a black tip! Diane

So beautiful. It's sad that her wing is damaged :(
