Well done! Never managed to get any shots of these at all on my recent trip to Scotland. They were relly elusive, and I didn't have the light when I did see them.

Dream shot! An afternoon well spent :)
I have not had any opportunities to portray this species yet, they don't live where I live...

You have a lot of patience, my friend. Bet you enjoy meditating. This is a real stunner.
Now I know what the 400F5.6 can do. Ha!
