    Wow nice shot. In Bellingen not too far from where I live, in summer, in the evening, the sky is covered with these guys. Amazing that you got one in flight in daylight.

    daylight
    glad you like it-shot during a hot day at the colony on the yarra river in melbourne

    when its hot ,this interferes with sleeping during the day.

    there is therefore a lot of activity with bachelor males flying in to jump on females belonging to an alpha males harem.

    females try and fight them off and if the alpha male turns up he usually scares them off or attacks them....this means i can get lots of shots during the day,although now that we are in autumn the colony is now quiet again,until next year.
