A great aerial display & brilliantly captured. I know the site very well as we have a number of Owl Boxes dotted around there for the Barn Owls. Seeing these SEO's in action is as you said, amazing.

Isn't that great to see such a display, with the added bonus of a cracking shot. Well captured.

An excellent image! I was standing about 10 yards away from you I think, and didn't get anything this good. What a display they gave us though.....

Having spent many hours over many days over the last few weeks on my SEO patch I am really envious of the great shot you have managed to capture here. Well done!

Wow, cracking shot. I can imagine how amazing this would have been to see after seeing some for the first time this afternoon

These games of the okey-cokey can get pretty serious :biggrin:
