Pole Dancers.....
The same pair as in yesterday's shot but ten minutes later. 07.38 am to be precise. Their wings have warmed up by then but they are not particularly flighty and on the wing. The perfect time to get a shot on a warm day like this. Another great time is early evening as they settle and crawl down the long grasses which they also tend to do if its windy.
I was able to kneel and lean on one elbow to steady myself and get some of that beautiful blue sky in shot. I must say they are fairly acrobatic and got into many precarious looking positions to accomplish their driving force...The perpetuation of the species which in this particular area are thriving. Sadly the weather went downhill and the wind so bad we saw none for days afterwards...
