I heard a familiar 'whooping' noise this afternoon so grabbed the camera and managed to snap this before they returned to Kemble.

On a boat in the Norfolk Broads a couple of weeks back, Sunday 8th June to be precise. (So technically speaking it was my back garden) I saw these high up and took a snap or two. It wasn't till I got home and started editing that I realized what I'd seen !!

A bit later these passed over too.

Amazing what you can see on a Sunday !!
I also saw the rehearsals for the Trooping of the colour off of the Great Yarmouth coast about 15 miles away, I'll find them and post a couple too.
