Thanks Colin. They are quite slow flying normally, so you can happily thermal opposite 2 or 3 others at the same height circling in a thermal. With a large field, you can get a lot more than this in one thermal! Everyone needs to go the same way though... Bruce

Incredible, I have never seen so many of these flying in the same location at the same time. Makes you wonder how they manage to not bump into each other. The close detail of the sail and cables in the foreground really makes the shot.
