LOL the only sighting I have had is of one flying rapidly away from me....

You haven't given any techs, for me the pose looks interesting with plenty of action but it is getting lost somewaht in the surroundings, I know the surrounding are typical, but in this case its just a bit too busy for me at least, still well done for capturing an great pose of this very elusive species.

All the best

Hi Paul

Interesting behaviour - do you know what provoked this reaction? Well caught!

VERY interesting and nicely timed by you!
