Beautiful mate, first one for me, although I would change the crop as the positioning of the bird looks off. Maybe a square crop would suit?.

Shame the sky was so changeable too.

But good set though

Good set Rob, showing a number of different aspects of the birds flight/hover ... I've yet to get a decent shot of one in flight

 

[Jannyfox]

Last one for me showing the top of the wings - so often the only view you get is from below. I've shot one of these in flight just once, before I owned a long enough lens.....

Nice set 12&5 for me

 

[The Weasel]

I really like the first one, Bob...with the great hovering pose. But, I agree with Jan when it comes to the last shot, plus it gives a great view of those prominent Alula.

Excellent set covering most of the angles,picking up plenty of detail also.
