Thanks Kathy and Greg!! The photo was taken in Algarve, Portugal and the birds were very protective about their nests and came very close to me. So a great opportunity to practice my 'bird in flight' skills..

Wow, you captured this little guy at full tilt...a simply amazing BIF shot. I really love the position of those legs as he is soaring through the air. Big congrats on your 1st POTD on this site and I am certain there will be more to come, Jes!
