Miss one more.

Bee Eaters take 3

Was sick and missed some outings today. It was gonna be a boring rest day for me. Luckily some friends pop by later in the afternoon and the weather wasn't that bad so I quickly set my tripod and begin shooting. [Wuuuu pretty sharp...]




Was trying hard to try and get it in flight but I didn't set the shutter high enough. Probably wasn't thinking much due to the fever [Excuses, excuses, NOOOOOBB!!!]. So here are my failed attempts.

Dragons and Bees

Took the Bigmos out to shoot some birds but there wasn't any at that time. Saw this dragonfly on a branch and thought I'd try shooting it while waiting for the birds.


Manage to get a couple of shots of it taking off and landing. [Dunno if this fella is landing or taking off ]

Well as usual the Bee-Eaters drop by again and as usual the weather was lousy.

So did a Sterling who had just had a bath

Fella manage to catch a cockroach which I had earlier mistaken as a wasp! [Yeeeeewww that's one big roach]

Even threw the roach up and gulp it down in one go.

Blue-Tailed

Don't mind the boring background. Cloudy day. Had another go with the Bee eaters, this time on the television antenna of my neighbour house.

It spots its food flying around close by. [Nah... that insect had a death wish!]

Next thing a bee is in its mouth. [You missed the fella while it was trying to catch the bee!!!!]

Falcons

Thru the dirty window, some of the shot I manage to get of the Thunderbirds.

Moon on the 29th of August

Another shot of the moon

[AhhhhWuuuuuu] :P

Did you say macro?

Been awhile since I did some practice on macro. After close to 15 attempts, this was the best I could do. Must be losing my touch :P [Eh since when you got the touch?]
