Very well done. I've only ever seen these once and missed a great chance to get a shot of one.

Thank you

I only managed to take 3 photos of it before it disappeared, so was very pleased I managed to get this one.

nice one Thea, well captured. I admit to being a wee bit envious, haven't seen one for about 5 years and would love another go at these.
