He was not strictly in flight. He just jumped around and stretched his wings. It looked more like dancing to me. He got a distinctive punk head and overall size is relative small. Is he just a juvenile?

All very sharp except the top one which is a tad soft on the head. You did extremely well with 2x on a 600/4 for flight shots ... not easy at all I must say. Panning in the second shot is particularly impressive too.

Way to go, Angus! ::)

All of them looks great and sharp, Angus. I like the last one the most!

I agree with KK that panning with 2x is difficult. You had done a good job. Please keep on sharing. ;D
