The key it seems in the age Pete; captive bred juvenile appear very rare indeed but discounting escaped imported birds etc is likely to be a nightmare and it's Cat E fate!

I was contacted by Killian last night and have discussed the bird with him and potential origins with another Irish birder. Needless to say, I have a long road ahead...
