Permanent ban

Yup, #1 and #2 are a drone fly of some sort, #2 made me laugh, how *does* it fly like that? One messy eater. Perhaps #3 would be better rotated 90º clockwise? Good shots Pete.

Thanks
I thought it was dead funny when I saw him through the veiwfinder.
I will try rotating the image , always seem to have no time to do any editing at the mo, I keep going out to find more bugs before winter starts.
