Fly pasts? Landings? I get fly aways from these birds and that's it. Great captures.

Congrats Carlton, glad you managed to catch him again. I saw him sunday afternoon, just a fleeting glance mind.

Both great shots but the seconds superb. :) Well captured.

Wow Carlton, excellent--especially number 2 due to a little more pleasing lighting and BG. A joy to view!
