Bluebottle

This big bluey was on and off the same area of leaves over a five minute period. It kept swapping from one to another, so I just set the lens pointing at one it kept going back to, until eventually, it landed there again and hey presto, shutter pressed. The slight ghosting you see on the wing is because a fraction of a second, it took off. The second shot is from one of the other leaves it kept flying to.
