Birds in flight

We've had some sunny days this week, so I spent a while in my back garden trying to improve my technique at photographing birds in flight.

I'm finding capturing small birds in sharp focus really tricky, but thanks to the camera's high speed burst mode, I've managed to get a few crisp ones, and I've made a collage of four of them here (male and female House Sparrows and a Great Tit).

Starling in flight

I went out looking for wildlife yesterday but came home mostly disappointed as I didn't see much. I got some shots of what I thought was a rare water vole swimming across the canal, but it was actually a rat :-(

I managed to snatch this shot of a Starling flying off with its insect catch.

Bee

I spotted this little bee in my garden hiding behind a single blade of grass. I didn't have my macro lens on the camera and I didn't want to go back indoors and get it in case the bee flew off. I had to make do with my 40-150mm, therefore this is a huge crop and a bit noisy.

Glasswing butterfly

Another image I found reprocessing files in my archive. This is a close shot of a galsswing butterfly. It's not in its natural habitat, though, it's in a glasshouse in the botanic gardens in Copenhagen; taken on a trip a few years back.

I've always felt that butterflies are some of nature's prettiest creations, but these, with their transparent wings, are particularly special.

Red-winged Stick Insect

This macro shows a stick insect, one of more than 100 species currently identified in Australia. It was about 100 mm long and was blown onto my balcony on a very hot day (up to 41 C). It looked unhealthy (fungus near the leg joint at right?) and was dead this morning when I took the hand-held images in the PiPs.

I spotted this spider in my garden earlier today, after it had just caught a ladybird for its lunch. It's web definitely looks like it needs some repair work!

It was an unexpected delight to find this visitor on a local wall. Even better that it stayed while I grabbed the image. Best viewed large for details. HWW everyone.
