Thank you Geoff, I really struggled to catch them as they fly so fast, straight into the burrows

Excellent work Gerry - it's not easy to catch these in flight.

It was so hard to get some decent shots, probably a handful from hundreds. It was a loosely organised tour, to constrained by time

Great captures. They make wonderful subjects...

What gear did you use for these captures?
