Thursday 2 September 2010: Hanging in there

I followed this Southern Hawker around a tiny pond at Walltown Quarry waiting for it to settle.
Almost as if it was fed up with being stalked it flew right up to me and hovered until I'd taken a photograph.

Who can remember the 'just hanging there' helicopter shot?
Well the rotors are definately moving on this one :)
