I was watching for Marsh Harriers to appear when suddenly this GWP flew across in front of me. Luckily, I had set my camera for flight shots and was able to capture these two pics.  
This is a good spot for GWP being around a disused gravel pit where the soil is sandy and stony, and a good place for ants.

Brilliant Colin
That second shot it looks like a low flying jet fighter. 
They have an undulating type of flight.

Lovely shots Colin, these birds are often difficult to spot, let alone to get a picture of. Very well done

Number 2 is great - it looks like it's been shot from a gun!
