Hmm - marginally! I’ll get some decent bugs in July/Aug/Sept I hope but probably not a lot until then...

They're absolutely superb! I'm amazed at the first one. Would have assumed the shutter speed would have to be much faster than 1/250. In fact I'm confused. The settings appear to be the same for the other pics where the wings are blurred. As a purely novice question, how is this possible?

That's a VERY good question!

They were indeed all taken with the same settings, so I can only guess that it had entered 'glide' mode at that moment, or it may have something to do with the wing movement in the 'head-on' plane. - I'm sure that someone far more knowledgeable than me, will come along with a better answer shortly.
