After I took this shot, Bluey came by the bank a couple of times but didn't land so I decided after the incident with the cable to go home. It's probably a good think I did because a little while later we had hail stones raining from the sky!
Good news though as I have got a battery plus a spare for my remote trigger so it's not all doom & gloom. Another day another shot but not tomorrow as I have friends coming for lunch.
