After seeing a few pics posted I knew it was time to visit. Ken and myself arrived early and we had the area to ourselves which was a suprise. It only took about 30 secs before we spotted a pair of them. After watching them for a few mins it was obvious that they had a few fav perches, so we et up and started to get a few shots.
It was great to see them flying around and catching insects right infront of us at times. It wasn't too long before a few other togs turned up and it was great to meet Andy and also Dave Hutton again.
When I returned home and took a look at the images I was not that happy. They just didn't have the right bg and where just too far away. Now knowing the place and the behaviour of the birds I decided to give it another go on the Sunday morning. Ken very nicley let me use his 300mm 2.8 with the 2x which gave me the extra reach I needed. I concentrated on the particular shots I wanted and I think the results were good.
All in all a great weekend and another first for me.
