Went out again today to my thistle/goldenrod patch to shoot hovers. Was lucky enough to find some mating. I find they are easier to shoot in flight than single hovers as they arent paying as much attention to you. I have yet to get a decent in flight of a single hover.
One thing that bothered me about my first set of shots was that I couldnt get one that showed the wings of the upper fly, I did manage one this time.
#1 this was as close to a head on shot as I could get
#2 another side on shot
#3 finally my shot with the upper flie's wings showing
#4 This is how close I came to getting two pairs in the same frame, I shadowed them but could only get one or the other in focus, my arms were so tired that when I finally took the shot I missed them both.
#5 I think this is a hover of some sort.
Thanks for looking!
I'd be delighted just to capture a single pair.
