Watched this chap come in over the 'valley' and I was thinking, "turn this way" and he did...I was then thinking "just keep coming" as I lined him up in the viewfinder and, well, he did...only to break off at the last minute.

Not a bird we often see flight shots of Andrew, and three very good ones too.
