    My job this week has me between Esher and Teddington so I manage to get to stop off for a coffee and a short walk between at Bushy Park and so far having some good breaks. Well worth a visit.

    Started with this then these which ended with the female being caught by a pond spider RIP One of these (the human version) A Hobby an awesome bird catching dragonflies and me not ready for it. Swallows are the hardest thing I have ever tried to take a picture of, they are like bullets. and finished off the day with a glimpse of a Red Kite

    Camera Canon 1Div and 70-300L. Sold some guns and bought a camera Thanks for all the comments. These are such stunning creatures and worth watching and trying to take pictures of if you get a chance. If you want to try these first thing is to bin auto focus. Manual focus is the only way imo, takes a bit of practice, I also set the camera to manual with about f10 and 1/1000-1/1600 shutter speed ISO as low as I can go but hovers around 800-1000 so I use a flash as a boost. I don't use fast frames per second as the flash won't charge so just one at a time. Average 1 in 10 on a good day

    Another go at taking in flight shots, it is so addictive

    Thanks. A Canon 70-300L Just been told it is more likely an Emperor rather than a Southern Hawker so ID would be welcome.

    A few Southern Hawker Emperor shots it seems Not 100% but I think this is a Common Darter please correct me if I am wrong

    300mm and they were a way off so cropped from this so I think I need something longer if going to get serious about these. .

    A week apart but in the same spot whilst walking the dogs. I will be leaving the dogs at home a couple of evenings next week to try and get a few more. .

    I looks more likely that the 7Dmk2 will be out in September now so it might be worth waiting for that or at least get a 7D when the prices really start to come down. Still think about the 70-300L as it is stunning, I just tried a 70-200mm f2.8 again and sold it within 2 weeks, deciding to keep the 70-300mm

    Good catch

    Not as many around my way this year but got a few Enjoy

    The 7D has the crop factor which does help with wildlife they are also really cheap 2nd hand sub £500 so very good value. Only downside is over iso800 there is noise. As for a lens I would highly recommend the Canon 70-300L, it is light and compact (relatively) great IQ and stunning IS for under £1000 There is also the Canon 1DMKiv. I got one as it was cheaper than a new 5Diii and it has x1.3 crop factor, it does 10fps if you need it, the battery lasts forever, it is properly waterproof, AF is superior to a 7D by far and more than enough to get anything I have pointed it at sharp 95% o
