Cor!!!! WOW Dan!!!! That's a wonderfully detailed flight picture!!!

Although we have a perched juvenile, we don't have any flight pictures in The Opus as yet, so I'll upload this brilliant image shortly.

Many thanks for sharing him with us lad.

This is one bodacious flyby image of this Cooper's guy.
 
An outstanding action shot, Dan! That must have been a wonderful experience.
