"Not that it really matters but your EXIF states that the ISO was 8,000, not 16,000."
Thank you. I stand corrected on that.

"Just to salve my wounded ego, how many tries did it take? (Please don't tell me Just one!)"
I watched the hornet for a couple of hours before working out the flight pattern. He came back every 20 minutes or so. I had a couple of early attempts then got this in a burst of 10 shots at 10 / sec.
I could hardly believe what I had when viewed on the computer.
So to salve you wounded ego, a fair bit of preparation and a bucket full of luck.

My humble thanks to all who have responded so positively to this post.
I knew it was good but didn't expect such a reaction.
Thanks again.
