Go for a drive towards Oxford William, M4, A,34 and A303 are inundated with them. Inconvenient to stop and take a photo tho

Lovely selection Bob, I'm with snappy, see them quite often flying, but only seen one perched and that was for about 5 seconds before it was off again!

Cheers Snappy. TBH they were both perched as much as they were flying. Like all my photos to get close I do the 4 steps, pause, shoot, repeat lol. They let me get to within maybe 50 yards before taking off.

Ta Willpar.

Mood pieces this morning. In other words they wouldn't come out from the shadow and protection of the maize.

I particularly like the first one Bob, with the light on it's eye.

Great images Bob. Like them all.
