Lovely set Brian. Esp. like #3 and #4. #4 are those little ones that tend to hop it just when I'm going to take a shot.

Hiya Brian,

Excellent series of shots, as you say #3 is clearly egg laden, it's also my favorite, a cracking shot !!

Cheers for now

Thanks
Yes #4 ones do tend to fly off normally when you approach although they seem to fly fairly slowly. This one was too busy drinking to notice me and I got three good shots of it.

Great shots Brian.

I'm afraid I'm plumping for #3 as well.

I think I captured one similar to #4 tonight. Spent nearly an hour trying to capture him in flight, all to no avail.

Wow. These are great. Seems like so many people on this forum are into bugs that I thought I'd had my fill. But these are very rich looking.

Permanent ban

Beautiful shots Brian, especially #1 & #2. My dad also says your images are stunning (and embarrasingly asks me why I can't be that good lol).
