I spent about an hour watching this little guy today.

He set up his territory above and around a particular bush and defended it against all comers - other hovers....bumble bees....me. Some mighty aerial battles ensued.

As an aside, this +1 dioptre I got for my viewfinder has made a tremendous difference.

Simon amazing stuff from you........... :clap:

but it strikes me you've got too much time on your hands an hour for a few shots - what about cleaning the car, mowing the lawn type of stuff :p
 
Jobs? chores?..... you should wash your mouth out with soap boy!:D

I'm no boy - well I haven't been for a short'ish'ish'ish while or maybe a little longer :clap:
 
Thanks very much everyone.

Quite right too. ;)
 
Great set Simon. I like the leg dangling shot as it shows this behaviour, not sure why hovers leg dangle though.
