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.
