Taken this morning in the middle of the Chilterns, after a 2 hour wait one finally came closer enough and circled over. I have a few frame fillers but they don't have the impact of the eye level Grigrin shots so though I would post this.

There is a chance of getting eye level shots but I think I am going to have put some time in :rolleyes: Any c&c appreciated and a big thanks to all those who have given me information :toast: :toast:

40D 1/640s f/6.3 ISO200 400mm monopod

really like the composition here, and the light though harsh really picks out the eye, i know what you mean about it being tricky getting shots both eye-level and full frame, have you tried aston rowant, it's quite a steep hill so if you're at the top you've a fairly good chance

Thanks Jack, sorry I should have said these were taken at Aston Rowant, great place will defiantly be going again!

Just came back form a quick cycle and saw about 15+ of these guys circling plowed fields minutes from my house :biggrin:

Thanks Craig, I think he was interested in what I was doing as he hovered above me for about 2 minutes!

Loads of views and hardly any comments :confused: I don't mind criticism :wavey:
