Amazing shots Brian!

Did you use a tripod/monopod for any of these?

Brian, you're the best. I don't know how you managed to get the shots of the Mason bee in windy conditions.

Thanks for the comments all :) - much appreciated

Flexipak - no I either use a beanpole which I just grip in my left hand and hold a bit of the camera or as in some of these shots I was holding the leaf with my left hand and resting the camera lens on my hand.

Bill - I was holding the leaf :)

Hiya Brian,

Super series of shots, the S.B.C. is my favorite, I've searched high & low for one but no luck this yr. so far, most odd as they're normally around here now, everything seems to be running a month behind this yr:confused:

Cheers for now
