I managed to have a look but by then it was too high in the sky and February, and of course we missed out on the eclipse here in the UK

Spill the beans and tell us what lens you used?

Good shots with 'only' a 200mm lens

I noticed in some of your photos that others seemed to be using smaller lenses, I suspect a few will be disappointed in the size of the Moon in their shots. Many forget/don't know how much of the apparent size of the Moon is down to illusion.

What are the chances of to sets of two birds inflight being in the same positions a flip and rotation with a single bird would have been harder to spot
That’s odd, the illusion is due to the Moon being low in the sky and seen with land/sea based objects, causing the brain to infer the Moon must be much bigger. Higher up the Moon would have been brighter but just a few percent bigger than a normal Moon.

For me, the best shots were actually prior to the eclipse — i.e. at moonrise, which for a full moon is at the same time as sunset.
The "blood moon" occasioned by the eclipse is of course much less bright than the orange-red moon that we see low in the sky at moonrise and just after, when the light has to travel through more of the earth's atmosphere to reach the viewer.
Others with better equipment were able to get some good shots during the eclipse , but I wasn't able to manage a long enough exposure for the dimmer light.
