Well, I'm getting closer to the shot I have in my head and I'm aiming for. Alas, still, this isn't it, but it's the closest I've got to date.
I should have got the water in and, as a result, had more breathing space for the talons at the bottom.
The biggest problem is trying to work out where this guy is going to dive. I watch him as he is perched for hunting and try to work out a zone where he seems particularly interested in, then I get myself over to where I need to be, get low, and wait...and wait...
On the whole they tend to go elsewhere and I either miss it or get a perspective from the back that just isn't worth keeping. Still, one day....
