Very nice photo Ed.
Thank you. I am amazed with all the great photographs on this forum from all that contribute. It gives me the drive to keep photographing wildlife.
Thank you.
There's a knack to Ed. You take hundreds of shots and with a bit of luck, you get one or two half decent ones .... glad I'm not paying for film ...
A couple from RSPB sandy today:
Spider:
Scorpion Fly:
Ed D said:Sarcophaga Carnaria I think. Sat on a wall watching the bees in the garden and this wee beastie landed close to me.
[....ready for a sharp exit....]
I think that's called "a fly on the wall photo..."
