Thankyou both so much Daniele and Sukanya....as sharp as i could get it due to wind , and the little one flying off and landing quiet quickly :)

Oh good ! hope you find one , even though apparently their flight time is over , it's my very first time seeing one , and i was suprised it was so much smaller than any of the other skippers i have seen , this guy was close to a 5 cent peice all up ..really small.
