Another excellent set of images. Right-place /Right-time again! It's almost as if you know when to go for a walk & hump your camera bag along for a ride?
Seriously though, these boys must be queuing up to get their 'me at work' portraits.

Hard to believe probably but its a 5 min walk from my house to be in position so when we see them heading this way on the radar I usually take a gamble on them coming past... No set up , just lucky now and again as Ive had three on the trot all that have been low enough...usually they dont come anywhere near or go over at 1,000ft

darn hell those are impressive.
What sort of focal length there? Lots of perspective compression.

Thanks...I was using a 100/400 and the zoomed in images were at about 350mm on a 7Dmk2
