What another of your pet dragons Ian? Does he come to whistle, 35mm is outrageous! Well captured and nurtured :biggrin: .

Lol @ Tim.

Another beauty Ian. As the weather cools off I have noticed they are not so fast in flight, I tried to have a go on Sunday.....when I could find them (not many around down this way), but still couldn't keep up. Nice one.

Nicely captured - I'm not saying I great with flash as I'm really not, but could it do with a slight toning down? might just be my monitor. Either way, superb shot and even better being at 35mm !

Nice one Ian but prefer your previous post as the face is much sharper and I also liked the golden colouring in the wings :wavey: :smile:

A great attempt at something which is not easy. Well done.
