Thanks
Not totally happy with that bridge he (she?) is sitting on but, hey, what can you do? If I had moved around too much for a different angle Β it would have flown off a lot sooner.

I know the feeling, thats usually when I take a step, take a shot, take a step, take a shot, slowly working on best zoom/angle but taking the shots I can get so if it flies away I at least get something.

Yup, and this pic is the result of that exact process :-D. It's the second to last photo and then it flew off.

Too bad it's hard to keep the camera stable as so often I lose the in flight shot between steps :>

Me too.
The iridescent blue of their feathers is amazing.

They are stunning little birds, I managed to snap one a few weeks ago (not as close as yours sadly)

Well, I would guess there's more people who don't ever spot one as opposed to those who do, so we're both lucky
