What an incredible present from mother nature. I spent two and a half hours in the same spot to catch a glimpse of this magnificent raptor coming into one of his/her favorite look out perches and it came, just like clockwork every visit I made in the past six days. :) The annoying things were the clouds in the west behind me obscuring the sun a fair bit. I was looking with great fear as to when this guy flies whether I will have light or not. Just before 19:27 the sun peered through the clouds, but only for a short time, and luckily the BOP flew right past then. As you see to the east the sky was perfectly clear. :( This is a full frame image.

Well done Akos, I learned from my days with them that they are creatures of habit and that is such a good thing for those of us who like to observe!
