  Thanks a lot! Not easy at all, for sure. They are the truly cruisers of large river streams, you may spot one passing across the river and attempt a series of shots, and after that spending more half an hour trying to spot another one... Great specimens, with a remarkable flight! Cheers* Posted 9 years ago

Marvelous capture, particularly with just one-off opportunities.
