Thank you Graham, I managed to rattle off about five shots as it flew across the front of the hide, this is the only decent shot I was able to get. All the rest were just a blot on the landscape.

Excellent! Not an easy subject at the best of times but catching one in flight, that's a bit special.

An excellent capture Wayne.

You did well to get such a good shot of this 'speedy' bird in flight.

Love it, but you Welsh people are getting on my nerves lately, good at Rugby, good at singing, good at photography, what next.



Wrth fy modd, ond rydych bobl Cymru yn cael ar fy nerfau yn ddiweddar, yn dda yn Rygbi, yn dda yn canu, yn dda yn ffotograffiaeth, beth nesaf.



Nice one Wayne, all the best Davy



PS that includes Dennis as well
