This is the species that got me hooked on bird photography. Yesterday we had a superb time with 4 birds whizzing past the hide at arms length. Occasionally you could hear the impact of talons on dragonfly. It was an incredible half hour. Shooting these fast birds from a public hide with small windows is quite challenging but really enjoyable. Here are a few from yesterday’s session.

Very nice series of images Phill, #2 is my pick showing the soon to be ex-dragonfly in it's talons. What lens were you using?

[Isac]

Hi John, have you got XLFR and EXIFY installed? Works OK in Waterfox.

[Grumpy John]

Exif viewer, why?

[Phill104]

I think Isac is suggesting that easily shows what kit is used. Just mouse over an image and all is revealed. Doesn’t work for me on an iPad

Super sharp series. I agree #2 has to be favorite.

[Phill104]

Thanks. I just find it amazing how they don’t crash while eating as they do not appear to be looking where they are going.

Stunning work Phill. Really like that second one as well.

good work on these. r7 eye tracking getting a run on these?
did well how ever anyhow.

[Phill104]

Thanks. Yes, the eye tracking is great although the speed they were moving I think it was just animal detection.
