Lone Eagle been flying top cover over the house for the last hour or so- finally able to find it against the sky to ID it, neighbours must've thought I was going nuts!
Lovely sunlit topsides and wing streamers- oh for a mahoosive zoom lens!

Deepest Herefordshire. Had Tiffies and Hawks doing CAS circuits before but first Eagle Ive seen loitering rather than transiting to Wales.

Re: Grim Reaper!
Yep that's the one. Had some lovely low-med alt stuff circling over us in the past. This one's a fair bit higher tho- took me forever to spot it in the glare, and only just discernible silhouette without binoculars.

Re: Grim Reaper!
Tornado circled Eastnor for over an hour this afternoon as if on a bit of string- breaking off for the occasional low and fast run and climb out. Just getting the finale now off a couple of tail chasing Tiffies circling line astern, before doing diving runs on the hill at the end of our road.
Fantastic stuff.

Dunno who's night flying, but a lot still flying around Ledbury and the Malverns after dark.
