Danke vielmals, Uwe! Man muss da durch eine Scheibe fotografieren, unter den Umständen war ich zufrieden. Leider war die Landung außer Sichtweite, die können das nicht so gut und kugeln manchmal rum;-)

Thanks very much, Joe! It's a majestic sight but a longer lens would have helped...

Thank you so much, George! I felt privileged to observe them, even if it was only behind a window pane.

What a very impressive looking bird..........and you've captured it beautifully in this lovely in-flight shot Gudrun.

I love the image in the PiP as well. The bird looks quite surprised to see you :-)))
