What a cracker of a flight shot this is. It's great to know these birds are doing so well nowadays.

It's so nice to see you posting again Phil.
 
Wow! Good thing you looked up just then, and had your camera handy! Excellent shot of this beauty!!!
 
Thank you Delia,Bill,Graham,Mags and Kits for the lovely comments they are much appreciated .i was very lucky I had my camera and went out of the door just as it was passing ,if I had been in my bedroom i would have been eye to eye with it it was that low I was taken aback when I saw it so low and near ,It was been harassed by a gull, it was all so quick I nearly missed out .
