Cracking shot, I have been trying to get a good shot of them here in Lincolnshire but I doubt I will ever achieve your level of composure sharpness and detail. Well done
What lens are you using?
Regards David

Cheers David,
Came across them by chance really about 4 or 5 flying around and after many missed shots finally had a couple of keepers!! Had another look today and nothing!
It's the FA* 600mm.

Beats my record of two days ago, took 87 photos kept 4 and to be honest only one was any where near acceptable
