willy wingspread

[avkomp]

this was a kind of macgyver moment.
the willy was on the ground dust bathing or something and stood up so I took a pic, and it jumped when I did so.
I wondered what it may do if I aimed above it and cracked off a burst. the burst noise did scare it off and it flew exactly where I had wanted and I got this
quoting another tv show line, I love it when a plan comes together.

Is there a photo to go with this story or is it just a story?

Hi Ralph, sometimes when images don't appear and you think there should be one displayed, press CTRL and F5 to reload the page. It does happen on the odd occasion and this is generally a quick fix.

[avkomp]

image appears to be there for me.
anyone else having issues?

[avkomp]

lets try posting it again anyhow:

[avkomp]

can people see the image in the original post, the reposted image or both?

[Isac]

Both images visible for me Stephen. Beautifully executed shot and 1/5000 ss to freeze that fast wing action.
I recall hearing Hannibal Smith (the A-Team) saying those words on more than one occasion.

[griffljg]

I see it on both.

[Ralph]

I love to get these little buggers as to me they just say bush. Well done on this one.

[avkomp]

trying to faultfind this thread now. which image did you get? original one or repost, or both?

[Ralph]

The reposted shot as the original is still not there for me.

[wigz]

I'm seeing both images Stephen. Well done on this. Good wingspread with great detail.

[avkomp]

thanks mate. interesting that you can see the 2 images. I have just tried a few different browsers and some had it and some didnt.
since removed the image from the first post and added in ms edge. now all my browsers show both. 2nd time this has happened to me in last few weeks. weird

[avkomp]

thanks folks. been a few willies around lately but will be hiding around the house with the current rain event so only stuff close to house for a few more days yet

Seeing both. That one is a ballarina. I have just planted some garlic. I think some bird attracting bushes may be in order.

sure cant hurt. the garlic will likely keep the vampires away too
even something so simple as a bird bath can help, depending on how much other water is around.
plenty of stuff for birds where we are now too.
