User's notes
pretty sure there were only three birds. One looked immature. Every now and then, they all put their wings out and just glided into the air, barrel rolling, copying each other, but sometimes the two appeared to chase the other one away. The side by side flying was impressive even though they were a long way away then up high into the sky the two went. Not seen this species do this before. Air Show supreme.
