Perfect timing? I'd call it lucky.

Why you!!!!!!!!! I've been chasing this bird for quite some time.

Congrats on this shot of a wonderful and shy bird. It would be great with some blue sky. Maybe when the weather clears. Hope to see more.

Well done.

Blue Sky not withstanding its a shot that one doesnt normally see and so the more interesting for it.

Now now Edwin everyone deserves a little luck.

Ah Stephen the Waxwing was hanging from a branch so was somewhat easier.

You don't see these birds that often so you have done well to get a 'flight' shot!
