Hasn't Kenya Bald Eagle been around (and in Ian's catalogue) for several years already?
'Fancy Pants' looks nice; pity about the awful name :P ;D

you are quite correct, Pleione Kenya 'Bald Eagle' has been around some time. It just got forgotten in last year's paper catalogue and therefore, by the reasoning of the editor, it was new this year. You will have noticed that I snook it into the electronic version last year. That's the beauty of digital, mistakes can be corrected so easily. ;)

About Fancy Pants, I really like the name and I think it fits it's clownish looks. :P
