Looks like a really nice shot Rick. I like it. It appears to be smothering itself in pollen.

Thanks all. I really appreciate the kind words. these guys are fast when they're feeding. As for lens used, I used my Tamron 28-300/Ext. tubes.

You are right, these guys are not cooperative anymore. Even in their flight they go ahead, combined with right-left swaying.

Great shot and colour combination, as usual
