A bonus to have some nesting material. Could have a little more space to the left and bottom left for it to "look" into. Other than that I really like it. Was this taken at Bempton? As I will be up there for a couple days between the 3-8th of July.
Yes taken at Bempton. You will need a good windy day to make the most of it. Or you will just be shooting down on to of the birds. I would also chose the afternoon over the morning for the best light.
Nice details and colour. Aren't these superb creatures? I would prefer a little more room, but that's just personal. The colour of the water is nice too.
Cropped a little too tight for me but apart from that minor niggle a very nice capture.

Fine shot Guy,
With those matching angles on the wingtips and the tail, I can almost see the air rushing past. excellent exposure as well and the bg colour really shows the subject up well. i really like that. Eric
Nice picture indeed, lot`s of action ....it is telling a story.

Lovely shot Guy, agree about the crop but that's a very minor nit. I was there for a day last week and the wind was blowing in off the land which is why I assume the birds were not flying as high as they might? I found I was having to shoot downwards and only had the occasional bird fly at more or less eye level. I would have loved to come away with an image like yours but alas it wasn't to be. Still it was a great day out and an awesome spectacle to see - I shall be making the trip back there next week for another go
Is this full frame Guy? If not I personally would like to see a bit more 'empty' space to the left and bottom of the frame (just my own preference). Other than that a really fine flight shot and, as mentioned before, with the added interest of the nest material.
I love these birds but have never had the opportunity to photograph them as yet. Hopefully to be rectified at the end of the month.

Hope the weathers good to you and happy shooting.

Great flight shot! I like the added bomus of the nesting material!
