Thanks. Yes definitely an elusive bird. I've been lucky enough to stumble into them two years in a row.

Thanks Beresford. They're substantially cropped photos. Very difficult to get close to these raptors. They're very protective to say the least. I just hope to catch them there once more when the young are ready to fledge.
