   Klaus, when this photo came up it made me gasp. I have never seen one of these and you captured it so perfectly. It truly is an elegant bird. Thank you for taking my breath away today.

   Eigentlich kann ich mir den Kommentar bei dir sparen und “siehe wie letztes Mal” schreiben.
   Zauberhaft und herrliche Konturen des Fliegers gegen den Himmel.

   …. und wenn ich nur so elegant gehen könnte wie der fliegt …….

   Gruss Hartmut

    Such awesome wings! In the first photo, the black and white almost look like a layering of wings! And the subtle sky behind provides a magic background to highlight this elegant bird!
