    Nice set Brian! BG is not ideal, but don't think it could have been helped.

    Thanks Ian and SB for the comments.

    SB- the background does not bother me in these. The only place I can find these hovers at the moment is feeding on a large hebe bush. I prefer some background to an all black background which I could get with shooting the flash shots ( last 2 shots) at lower ISO
