  1. Peter, you clearly had the right strategy. When I arrived from Blenheim at 13:30 there was nothing to be seen in the car park. Too hot!

  2. Early morning is clearly best. I was there from 11.00 until12.00 and five were zooming around as my last visit with no chance of a settled photo. Maybe when it is not so hot they are more prone to perching up.?
