This is a very small bird and hard to catch with its wings open had take off. Not only use a small but very fast! He keeps challenging me though so I keep trying.

Here are five photos I took last couple of days.

C&C welcome as always.

I want to thank everyone for looking and for your comments and replies. I really appreciate it! They are a tough little bird to catch in flight! It is been a challenge and I've enjoyed, every minute of it.

No, the camera is quick! If it wasn't for the continuous option and the 10 frames per second I doubt if I would ever catch one in flight. It's unbelievable how fast that little bird is.

Thank you very much for looking and your reply. I enjoy the challenge of getting BIF's. Never played with small birds like I have lately though, they're all whole new set of challenges.
