Nice captures. Especially like #1. Sharp, nice color. Really shows the activity of the small feathers near trailing edge of the wing during the maneuver.

Nice one Rob. How many attempts did they take? #2 looks like it has hit a window! :)

Both are great in flight captures with the second one getting my vote for its mystery and the sharpness of the eye peering over the wing. Nice!
