Cool. They fly a LOT. They can also land gracefully....sometimes. When it goes wrong it's quite a laugh.

Nice. I like that you got it with one flapping up and the other flapping down. They're so graceful looking.

Great shot, almost as if they are having a challenge to see who gets there first. Lovely colours
