What a great set, smile from the pilot, swan getting in on the action, and some fine timing in others.
Cheers.

Another vote for the pic with the Swan, but all your photos in this post are good.

Not seen a U2 in that configuration myself. Thanks for posting.

Well...on that showing the Dodge Charger chase-car is gonna be history, now they've got swans trained to keep-up & pass guidance!
I also noticed the Crow in shot 1 & 2 using the light to get some height for the perfect shot? Maybe it was the Bird Scarer's day off? :whistle:
Great set of shots in cracking light. :thumb:

Top shots in great light

071 is a good one for me - bit of a long way for one.
