The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is the only commercial rocket launch where the first stage is landed around 6 minutes after launch.
In this shot I have captured the ascent profile from Pad 39a at Kennedy Space Centre and also the first stage decent onto LZ1 at Canaveral AFB, Florida

Landing approach
I managed the landing approach again, just like this beautiful bird. I don't know who it is yet, but I'll find out and give it a name soon ;))
I've now had help with the identification, thank you very much.

ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet landed on the steppe of Kazakhstan on 2 June 2017 with Russian commander Oleg Novitsky in their Soyuz MS-03 spacecraft after six months in space. Touchdown was at 14:10 GMT after a four-hour flight from the International Space Station.
Thomas spent six months on the International Space Station as part of his Proxima mission. During Proxima, Thomas took part in 60 scientific experiments for ESA and France’s space agency CNES and the international Station partners.
The mission is part of ESA’s vision to use Earth-orbiting spacecraft as a place to live and work for the benefit of European society while using the experience to prepare for future voyages of exploration further into the Solar System.

barrido dificiles si los hay... con mi eos 50d, a asa 1000, y con el 135mm a un 1/15 de velocidad disparé varias tomas y esta fue una de las dos que zafan...
A Limpkin (Aramus guarauna) landing on a cypress tree branch. The Limpkin has a specialized diet consisting mostly of apple snails and its bill is uniquely built to act like tweezers to remove the snails from their shell. Photographed on March 3, 2019 at the Marsh Trail of the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge in Boynton Beach, Florida.
Photographed from behind, this limpkin made it's final landing approach at Winding Waters Natural Area in West Palm Beach, Florida. See it, and more, on my website at www.tom-claud.pixels.com.
I think the correct name for this type of cloud is Lenticular. I've never seen cloud formations like it before and I can see why they could be mistaken for UFO sightings.
Perfect landing spot at the runway near Husafell Campsite, Iceland.
Transport via the waterways of Suisun Marsh played a vital role in the early settlement of Solano County. This is the former site of Rush Landing on Suisun Slough. We see the Vaca Mountains in the background.
Hiram and Sarah Rush headed a pioneer family who crossed the plains in the 1850’s, originally settling in the Sacramento area, and then in the 1860’s establishing Rush Ranch. In addition to his livestock operation, Hiram also grew grain in the Potrero Hills, built the three-story Mason's building in Suisun City, and erected Rush Landing on the Suisun Slough for the shipment of farm products by boat to San Francisco.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaca_Mountains
The Vaca Mountains are one of the most prominent landmarks of Solano County, with a steep ridge on the east side that rises abruptly 1,000 feet (305 m) or more above the foothills below. The range begins at Suisun Marsh in a broad, low-elevation saddle that also contains the city of Fairfield and Travis Air Force Base, and separates the mountains to the northwest from an outlier of low hills called the Montezuma Hills. The Vaca Mountains then trend 17.5 miles (28 km) to the north and end at Putah Creek Canyon. The average width of the range is about 5.5 miles (9 km), with an area of 61,775 acres (250 km2) that is mostly undeveloped. Mt. Vaca at an elevation 2,818 feet (859 m) is the highest summit, and the high point of Solano County, but the backbone of the range is the Blue Ridge, a prominent ridgetop that maintains an elevation of over 1,900 feet (579 m) for several miles.

Spent a few hours over at Robin Hood airport today.......the Vulcan made a quick trip to Duxford to display, so we waited there for her to come back. Its always a real social time, lovely people go and it makes you realise how lucky we are to have this amazing sight on our doorstep.
I went over to the main road to get some overhead shots and feel the whoosh of the plane passing over .......it was brilliant!
Need wide angle lens next time:))
