Sequence.

Well captured Greg. Knowing how fast these move normally I'm guessing you didn't have much time to capture that special moment in #2.

Pretty good work Greg. Not easy to get and not that common to see either. Nice detail too.

Thanks, yes they are super quick. Watched them for a while and saw a pattern in what they were doing so I prepared for them and shot on burst. This camera does between 8 and 17 shots per second depending on settings and light, so the whole sequence is something less than one second. The light was pretty poor and I needed to be on ISO1600 which is pretty borderline for the camera.

Cheers.

Great series even though the light has been less than kind to you

Super fast action is well caught and that is the main thing. So easy just to end with a blur.
Great angle for this shot and the character in that fledgeling is beautifully captured.
Love the soft coloured background.
Sweet series. Thank you for sharing.

I particularly like the pose of the young one in #2 and 4.
Good going.
