First one of these this year, not that I've been looking hard though.
All shot with 350 and mp-e 65 and mt 24ex macro lite.

Mp-e 65 isn't the right weapon for in flight shots

Brilliant photos as usual Alby. Our garden was swarming with these last week,with these fascinating creatures. I love the close up of the face in No 2.

Wee bit more patience before you nail that in flight shot.
