On the wings of freedom

It took me years to get a decent shot of this wonderful bird. Rather shy creatures that stay out of the vicinity of humans normally.

 

I had seen they were reported in this area on that day, so I went to Fort Everdingen hoping to see them, but several hours of walking around I didn't see them.

 

So I decided to go home in a bad mood, but.. suddenly they came flying in, 7 of them (4 males and 3 females), and they gave me the happy opportunity of making loads of shots. This one was at the end of the session when they took off again. What a beauties!
