Hi Alex, thankyou. yep, he does look like he knows what he's doing. Great to watch them. They are so big, it's amazing how they navigate thru the branches etc

Hi Mary, thankyou for the nice comments. Yes, that's how they do look, as if they are floating down, very beautiful and graceful in their somewhat ungainly appearance, if that makes sense. Such precision too, it's awesome and breathtaking as you say. We were totally amazed when so many flew out of the trees when the eagles were harrassing them.
