Is that a very big bird or a very small tower? 🙂

The bird is large.
The zoom was about 50% for this shot.
I’m not sure how far the Tower is from our spot – at least a couple of miles.

Warn everybody to block their ears ready for the takeoff! (Just imagine the volume on one the size that one appears to be!)

Indeed; when you startle one, you can almost guarantee that you are going to be even more startled in return!

I heard the birds approaching and just held the camera focused on the tower, as this is part of their usual homeward bound route
The bird could have ended up anywhere in the frame, but to manage this was pure luck.
