Very nice Geoff

Well done for getting it in focus and in frame they can be a right pain to shoot in flight. Now your challenge for next year is to get even closer

Thanks Chris and Bryn. Yes they are tricky, I normally end up with an empty image.

Nice shot, agree with Bryn, pita to get, altho last week while at work I saw one just in front of me so I put my finger slowly underneath and it was strange to feel the downdraft from the wings, I'm always at work when I see the best but no camera
