Apologies John, you are correct, had quite a few shots of both, one of my senile moments, my mistake.Are you sure that's a male???

No need for apologies Denis - certainly not to me anyway.
Nice sharp images by the way. I got both male & female at the weekend (VERY similar shot with a green caterpillar too!!) but I was using the old 7D and a only a 300mm, so nothing like as good as these as I was too far away. I'll add her in here for a comparison if you wish? Trust me, she will make yours look even better!

Put it up John, it helps to be in the the right place at the right time, doesn't always happen that way.No need for apologies Denis - certainly not to me anyway.

It's a poor shot, focus is slightly off and it's cropped to hell because I was too far away, but here's the comparison:
Got the male too and although the focus is ok, I was still too far away and had to crop too much (I'm too used to having 1000mm to play with!):

The male is definitely the pick of the two Stan, but does the female shot look a bit on the warm side ?It's a poor shot, focus is slightly off and it's cropped to hell because I was too far away, but here's the comparison:

Stan?
Neither of them are my pick Denis which is why they aren't shown on TP and I already know what's wrong with them. My old 7D only got used that day because it was already attached to the 300mm and I couldn't be bothered lugging the big boys with 5Diii's about while out with the dog. I just put these up here becasue the female was so similar in pose/food, to show the male/female difference and to make your excellent shots look even better!!
