Like it said on the tin, the Ospreys are definitely peachy and what a difference it makes to see them in that sort of light. Great stuff.
Personal favourite is the head-on C5 though. That is the dogs doodies.
Cheers, Bob.

Very nice shots.

Watched them go over the coast from the North Norfolk coastal path last night. A very different sound from a distance, at dusk.
