Must apologise for the lack of sharpness. Both of us were on moving rafts, about 200 feet apart. Didn't think I had the shot as it only lasted a fraction of a second. When I did finally see it I couldn't believe what had happened to it's wings. If any of you have ever seen this wing-fold trick, you know that it looks like some monster has chewed them off. They appear all bloody and crushed. I have a burst of this one flying away, just seconds later with full wing spread.
