    thanks
    thanks-i actually rotated it as it looked better this way-this was a big one with a wing span of about a metre-there is a huge one at the colony that i have not been able to shoot yet-with a very big body and a 1m + wingspan-its rather clever though and steers clear of me

    Neat capture, too bad the shadows are covering its face.
