Trawsfynydd, North Wales

Went out to take some late evening shots of some wild ponies in the Rhinog foothills near Trawsfynydd, when out of the blue at about ten to nine along came a Griffin. The chopper came from the Ganllwyd direction heading north then turned west to go through the gap between Rhinog Fawr and Rhinog Fach. Not the best shots, I was up to my knees in a marsh and being eaten alive by midges - surprised I caught anything!

You are a true pro Keith.
Being eaten alive and you still manage to snap a superb shot.

A very nice catch, despite the midges.

What a nice bonus, out of the blue like that, and as John says makes the midge bites a little more bearable :-)

Well captured - worth all those midge bites!
