These are surprisingly hard to photograph. If you get slowly close them, they walk away from you. If you approach them quicker, they will fly away. Still I managed to get something out of this scene.

Oh and be sure to check out my new photoblog at Photography Joni Niemelä | Photoblog

Stunning shot.

It's one of those moments that come up when you are out in nature but are rarely ever able to capture.

My compliments.

Thanks wildman. I was positively surprised when I opened this photo on my computer. I thought that this one failed when I was photographing.
