All having taken-off from RAF Waddington, they formatted and over-flew the Bomber Command Memorial. Of course, I was in the wrong place, with the wrong lens!

I quite like the light and the background on this one

( 97 of 365 )

Went for a camera wander and hardly got to the end of the road when out of nowhere the Red Kite appeared over the rooftops , it did a couple of circuits and was off again back over the Common . All the shots against the cloud were just silhouettes and this one was almost as well , at least I could recover some of the detail in what was very dark underwings !!

Never one to hold back after striking a rich seam - here's another montage!

Eastern Osprey (Pandion cristatus) female Eloise.

One from earlier in the year as I haven't had much time to get out recently.

Is it Bird... Is it a Plane....

It's a bit of Origami Fun.

A Royal Air Force A400M Atlas with a brace of C-130 Hercules rehearse for the King Charles III Coronation flypast over Gloucestershire.

I have never been able to photograph dippers before, but I walked by the stream in Clapham, North Yorkshire, and saw a juvenile dipper fly by. After a minute or two an adult followed it. The parent was flying away and fetching food and I managed to get some nice photos of the feeding. This photo was one of the technically more challenging ones - trying to capture the adult dipper flying past at low level and high speed. I'm using a new combination of a Canon R5 Mark ii and RF200-800mm lens. There wasn't much light and the autofocus was really struggling and the hot rate of in focus shots was only around 20%. Still, this one is reasonably sharp!

Another shot of the Red Arrows, as they come past the Palace of Westminster, and over Buckingham Palace!
