    First time I have ever got this one in flight - like so many species they just don't hover long enough to frame and focus.

    Perhaps it was the low light made him less active and ss suffered as a result. I wasn't onto it - could have raised ISO a notch or two...

    Well caught. I've tried many times in Turkey to catch one in flight, but never ever succeeded.

    Very good photos Byan, with a good amount of detail and nailed focus...
