Wings on Wednesday

There are often light aircraft flying near or over the village, especially at weekends. A very distinctive one I have seen several times over the past few years is this Pitts S1-C amateur build biplane.

Pitts S-1C Special 1

A very smart looking aeroplane designed for aerobatics. I see, from looking round the net, that at one stage it had been rebuilt as a seven year project and was on sale for £26,000

Back nearer earth sees the return of Jackdaws. They had been missing for a couple of months but are now back attacking the bread I put out for the corvids.

They don't stay for long when they notice anyone watching.

    Two very different sets of wings! That red biplane is very eye-catching against the blue sky - but - I think I prefer the Jackdaw taking off!

    Thank you Adrian. Pure luck on the last one as it was just launching from the feeder as I started to take the shot.

    I agree with you Mick. The wildlife one is more interesting to me.
