E-M5 & Oly 40-150 4-5.6r. I wish it were faster, but than I guess it wouldn't be a $120 lens, LOL. Please be gentle, I'm a beginner at best.

Very nice. One suggestion, if I may; position the feeder so the sun is not on their back. but maybe side-on or partially front-on.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

I think they're excellent, never mind the gear used. Well done and yes, think about the lighting adjustment.
Question- with the feeder among the flowers, will they also visit the flowers? Or are they virtually feeding on the sugar water exclusively? Thanks.

Hiya Lv, thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely give it a try. Having a lot of fun with this lens, can only imagine what the 40-150 F2.8 must be like.

Thanks Ardeeday; They really like the sugar water, but every once in a while they will have a go at the flowers.
