Nice flight shots Michele. \O

The branches in the Lanner pic add to it to give a sense of movement. \O

I had a quick visit to Rondevlei on Sunday ...it was extremely windy but I discovered a sheltered spot behind a hide. There was quite a lot of traffic flying past...

Simply stunning, Michele. Excuse my repetitive vocab, but I'm really lost
