Common or maybe migrant hawker from my trip to Leighton Moss today. Birds were keeping their distance, but did have the pleasure of seeing an Osprey.

Cheers

Good one Tim. The BG adds to the shot as it is nicely OOF but still gives the impression of a reed bed.

Hi Tim

Superb. I agree with previous comments.

I haven't tried photographing these beautiful beasties. I'm just amazed how you manage to get a flight shot as good as this.

I like this, but I would have liked it better with about 1.5cm taken of the top and RHS.
