Took some pictures back in the summer of these birds at the nest, but also had ago at them coming into land on a perch.

Another super shot Dale a bit central maybe, but just looked again and looks like it maybe does need the room on the right as he flying in onto the perch, anyway its a cracker

A cracker, this high speed flash is something else.

Great timing as ever. For me the perch is a little over-bright, and so competes with the bird a little. Maybe tone it down a little and shave off a little on the RHS just to rebalance the image a bit. But cracking, none the less.
