Off to Gigrin tomorrow. Still yet to get a really good dive shot, but will probably be playing with slow shutter speeds again, so not likely to get one tomorrow either

Was hoping there would be more leaf coverage on the trees by now, but does not look like it in this shot.

Nice one

Lovely shot, excellent pose, well timed!

Cracking shot, one of the best Gigrin flight shots posted so far, IMO. Pose and positioning in the frame are great.

John

What a great all action shot and so sharp too. You have demonstrated it can be done with an extender too.

Another of your Gigrin classics John.

Very nice wing and tail shape John, the head position makes the shot for me.
