Thought i would chance getting up early to shoot over Lakenheath to try and catch my first sightings of raptors. Well worth getting up for.

Shame the fench got in the way just pretend its not there.

Thanks for looking
c and c welcome

Excellent - glad someone got them! Tanks as well, I guess its a fair bet they are leaving soon!

I've just realised that you can see the tail of a decked Raptor in shot 3.

Nice shots given the conditions!

Chris.

They are still very much there !! Weather and tanker problems by all accounts have delayed them by 24hrs at least, I was there from 0630 - 1200.
