Thank you it was quite challenging they dived so quickly

Thanks Clicker i will pass on the coments but Jayne doesnt do the internet much only for shopping online

No idea why it wouldnt let me post all in sequence

End product i think is a crayfish

Hoping this works. My shots yesterday as a Gull hunting its prey you can see in the sequence how it keeps its eye locked on its prey, Damned hard tracking them as they dive there lightning quick once they decide to drop

Keep an eye open for USA and UK bank hols they won’t fly generally

With the wife Jayne and WOW she knocked these out

Thank you, Mildenhall along with RAF Brize Norton have all sorts flying in and out 24/7 and the 4 Ospreys based here in the UK are at Mildenhall The USAF dont mind even like spotters around there bases as long as they behave and dont climb up fences or prop ladders on them as for mildenhan its well worth a visit i do camp there for 3 days and flit between there and Lakenheath just a few miles waay i stop in a spot known as "Johns field" he has room for half a dozem or so campers caravans tents etc he is right next to the fence and has a large low loadwe trailer decked out for spotters to get on and see over fence there are toilets etc charges £2 per day visits just drop it in honesty box with car reg on envelope or aabout £6 per night for a tent. Havent camped since covid but have had several day visits usually go to Lakenheath till about 3 in afternoon then over to Mildenhall for a few afternoon/evening hours then chippy then home tis a long day but always busy and easy to

Thanks Colin

Thank you

Oh there was plenty of hot tea and beverages we do pack mini cookers tea bags milk and food i hate flasks so a fresh brew is always my way to go clothing wise very good hiiking gear and good waterproofs and believe it or not you do keep warm I left my 7D with a 70-300mm f4L is out on the rocks during heavy snow fluuries and rain up there many times and it still works perfect to this day If you all remember the Herc i took in the snow that was this day Was a good day the yanks came in the wrong way ( new batch of pilots ) but yeh we hide from wind behind rocks was then around minus 12 and we were all comfortable but ey the views up there anytime of the year are awesome so planes are a bonus

Pre Covid visit. RAF Mildenhall used by the USAF a selection of some of the daily traffic ranging from fuel tanker Hercules Osprey Rivet Joint (black and grey) 747 and the awesome C5 Galaxy now the largest plane in the world

My favourite place in the Peak District many many miles from nearest road and even on the very busiest of weekends up there its quiet

Taken from just below Scaffel Pike

Lit up nicely whilst surrounded by storm clouds

Over the road from where i camp in Snowdonia at Dinas Mawddwy after a day up the hills plane spotting

From a very cold Bwlch car park before the hike uo the photo the planes. boy it was evil up there that winter we recorded minus 20 in the wind but we had a good day after the morning storm

Well done Paul

Ok I’ve finally got it clean and now it has my 100-400 on and that’s going to stay on for the forseaable, as for my landscape lens im putting it on an older crop bodies so I can see if there is any issues, I’ve had a good look inside rear of both lens with magnifying glass and cannot see any so hopefully things should be fine.Thanks again for the tips @Fogey

Thank Ryewolf, Hatter and CMunzel
