Perhaps now  replace 'are" with "were". 

Mark's services were excellent: his ear is as good as his eye!

It's worth noting that, as far as I can tell, this is a first ever record for the ACT. It was still there an hour ago, preening in the big poplar outside #15 and cheeping meditatively to itself. If you can engage the services of Richard's son Mark, do so - he has an excellent eye!

cheers
