Wow!

I'd be overjoyed if my pics came out half as sharp as that.

Martin, do you glue the little buggers to the boughs or how do you manage to get the pictures this sharp ?

I believe he has a Canon EOS 1D Mk II N, and for these shots uses a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens and extension tubes to get these photos. Oh and the most important part of his kit: skill.

Dofo not glued to the sticks! You just need patience...take your time, move slowly. If you go walking up to them at normal speed you won't get within 10'.

All it takes is patience...

...and a Canon 1D markII N with a Canon 100-400 IS L and a set of extention tubes.

Martin.

PS - it also takes a faair bit of time in PS.

It was. It was also the name of the dragonfly that propelled Bianca and Bernard's leaf boat in the Disney classic "The Rescuers". Google just made me look smart there !
