I went to that hide with mixed feelings. That's how I usually feel entering a hide. Many of them are built in strange places, some have glazed windows (dirty) and the perspectives for a good shot are often not great. But sometimes things are happening. This Blue Wren made me stay for a while.

I caught these Pelicans in various stages of preening and it looked like they were all dancing. My kids thought it was funny when I told them that.
One of three dancing bears that took the Aurelito & Shakespeare party by storm, presumably for a Teddy Bears music video.

Backswimmers are predatory aquatic insects that spend most of their time upside down – from our perspective: In their world, the water surface is the floor and as soon as they stop swimming they "fall" back up to the surface. I chose to flip this image for this reason but below you'll find some additional images with the more conventional orientation.
This was shot in the field but in a relatively controlled environment: I used a net to catch the backswimmer and transferred it to a small transparent plastic container filled with water from the pond. Then I positioned the flash diffuser on top of the container (as a lid) and waited for a couple of minutes to give the backswimmer a chance to calm down before shooting a series of images and releasing the subject back into the pond. A glass container would have been much better (the optical properties of the plastic were far from ideal) but this was the best I could find at the moment.

Some very "interesting " dance happens outside St Joseph's in Beijing. The young lady was about to start - audience waiting.
