Seen thousands of these and haven't caught one doing that! Although I'm sure only for an instant - his head is upside down and the tail feathers are vertical. Wonder they can maintain flight control like that. Chris

I guess it must have been a little waterlogged and was shaking off excess water. I've never seen any bird do this before....
