I did say wonderful, that only means its full of wonder, as in, wonder what the heck it is perhaps? :) maybe potent is a better word? powerful? all in good fun of course.
Thanks for the info. Yes it had a "nose" and many flying friends. This is thew second year it has appeared - last year it disappeared before I could grab a photo. Amazing how much easier iding is once you have a name - go figure! Cheers Ron
