Very nice. Wonder if that's the same Puma that passed overhead about an hour ago?

A puma flew past my house today at 6.20 and a day or two ago, a puma and aircraft flying in formation flew over my house. I was not quick enough with my camera to capture them. before this week, I hadn't seen Puma's around Belfast for a while. Any reason as to the sudden increase in movement?

There's always one or two Pumas knocking about - i hear them on the radio from time to time.It's the first one thats been down here for a couple of months though - a nice change to hear something nice and loud  ;)

Only a very small number of Pumas at Aldergrove for the past few months-I believe as little as 3.

Loads of Puma activity today around Crumlin/Glenavy/Ballinderry area-mainly short hops and probably different approaches to the various runways at Aldergrove.

A Chinnook flew in to BFS on Thursday last at 17.10 but didnt get a pic as I was without my camera.Chinooks are very rare into Aldergrove of late.

Great photos! How did you get so close to the Puma in the first photo? I got my camera and lens today so I'm excited about trying them out at the weekend.
