Contrail vis this Evening... 15-05-2010

Pakistan International Airlines.... The Silk Route... (c) 2010

Opening skies into the sinking sun together with a few minutes to spare were interesting... not much moving but the air was cool and stable offering long range possibilities.

Lesser black backed Gull 49 > N

Swift 6 > N

Meadow Pipit 9 > N
