Very nice shot... and surprised you weren't with that highly sensitive secret installation in the background!

Cracking birds these, aren't they Andy.

That's a splendid flight picture you've taken of this guy lad - very well done.

They're just electricity pylons but I did get detained once and held for hours whilst on my local patch which is near a huge gas terminal. They accused me of photographing the gas terminal, you do have to be careful where you point a camera in Russia.
