Very nice shots; Unusual vantage point you must have had, to catch it peering over it's shoulder mid-hover.

Thanks Max, yes there was a small shoulder on the road driving north where I pulled over, and I sat in the drivers seat and safely took photos as steady traffic drove past. Kind regards, Roy.
