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? :whistle: 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 :grr:

What sort of focal length there? Lots of perspective compression.
