As we were criusing along the Grand Union Canal through the outskirts of Milton Keynes we looked up and saw the most amazing sight in the sky - at least ten gliders all swooping around in the same thermal - high up, but still (apparently) incredibly close together. I don't think that I have ever seen more than two gliders at any one time before, so it was truly incredible to see so many together in the same small area of sky, circling like brilliant white vultures.
(There are six gliders in this photo, which is the best I could manage with my compact digital camera. There are a couple more pictures in the linked gallery - click on the picture to see a larger version and access the galleries.)
