Don`t think I`ve ever seen a shot of one of these in flight, especially against a blue sky. Looks very nice on my screen, especially considering the big crop. Love the position you have have caught the bird in, showing nicely the normally-hidden wing feathers. Nice!

Hi Jacqui
It may be small in the frame but agree with Jeremy - beautiful wing position!

Not fantastic? It looks pretty good to me. I think that you have done wonders to get one of these in a flight shot at all, never mind with that great wing position. Eric
