Gnat catcher my backyard buddy

[ontos]

This little guy and his mom hang out in my garden and catch all the bugs, they are fun to watch.

Nice shots Ontos. I like the clarity/focus of the first one ... and composition/colour wise it almost looks like he is part of the tree there.

Birds can be tricky subjects, they move so quickly. I recently tried to take some shots of bluetits for my picture 'Garden Visitors' and spent the best part of a morning getting a lot of blurry shots of them flying away or jumping/moving about. But then again I'm certainly no David Bailey. Maybe it's time to upgrade our camera as it is fairly old now.

Thank you Su for your kind comments. I was trying out a new 70-300 lens, I like it so far. I do find it difficult to get good shots of birds, as you say they seem to be constantly moving. Someday I would like to capture a Hummingbird in flight, just a dream I think
