Fabulous entries to the competition. Well done to all who contributed. :t::t::t:

I was struggling to make my mind up between two of the entries, so one could be picked in my own mind.

They are all as good as each other IMHO

What excellent pictures everyone!:t::t: I can't decide which one to vote for. I will look at them all again later and make up my mind. I wish I could do flight shots like these but I can't. My hat goes off to all of you.:clap::clap:

A fantastic set of shots this month and a really difficult choice.
As usual I expect my vote will not be towards one of the top three.
