Super sighting and timing Peter. Quite a rarity around my neck of the woods.

Make your life spectacular!

Great find and moment captured, Peter. Great pose and the droplet trail adds to it.

Well done! They have been in Norfolk and Suffolk the last few years and have successfully hatched and raised chicks in the Norfolk Broads this year (Hickling Broad and Marsh) .
