This was taken down the road from me yesterday morning. These guys are pretty active, and just fly by, and never as close as we want. So we must be happy with what we capture. This was a lucky sequence with them stacked on top of each other.

Beautiful picture and you shot them at the right moment.
My only nit is to reduce the noise. I would also try to crop a little from the bottom and do a slight CW rotation to make the birds look flying horizontally.
Lovely, Stuart. Great feather details and the one up , one down works very well and great to have them both sharp. Love the sky and cloud detail in the BG. Wish they had been more co-operative when I was there!
