Just quickly processed it & whilst it looks ok on my computer...all that wavy effect has come from SM :scratch

Whatever...its been hit like a freight train with curves etc. I get a few thousand of these flying within feet of my balcony every night at about 6.30pm. They land in a huge tree behind me. Its great to watch them coming in fast & pulling their wings in & rolling from side to side so as to wash off speed for a landing....not at all unlike a rally car preparing for a corner.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
