I did wonder but thought their tails were more forked.... Seen a few down in Brighton in the air hope they spread further as they are great to watch.
Is that your garden and are they common?

My gardens way too small.
Taken in my mates garden in Aylesbury, they're all over Buckinghamshire.
There are a few in my area

I like it Jack, I like a lot of your shots. But it's not ****ing level! Sort your shit out man.

Thanks very much Trig. I've had a go at sorting my shit out. I haven't really quite got the hang of sorting out lens correction but you have a valid point. I need to shoot with a bit of spare room so I can perspectively crop if it's not level. I do try to shoot level in the first place, but lens distortion is a different matter. Here you are. You can see how much is missing compared to the crooked one.

You're welcome
Lens correction is a black art, but all you have to do with this pic is make the water level (it's still not). If you're using Lightroom, just run the 'level' across the water and that's it, job done. Yes, you'll still have the sloping supports etc, which can be improved with lens correction (or a fancy architectural lens), but the sea will be level, and that's good enough.
Oh god I'm rubbish at shooting level (hand-held, people shots, rather that tripod landscapes).
Lightroom's Transform options can sort the verticals these days - manually or automatic.

female Gold Crest maybe?
River Ouse lit by the Waterloo Bomfire
Terrific. One where the low resolution is actually adding a positive effect, giving it a watercolour feel.

Taken a few years ago whilst fishing at Swanboro lakes in Lewes. Looking east towards Firle Beacon. Probably the best sunrise i've ever seen.

That's exactly why I thumbed it up!
