Female Redstart landing at the nesthole in the side of a stone barn.
Only had an hour or so as they fledged and this is probabaly the best shot I got.  |

Excellent shot! What was your camera set to and what lense did you use? |

I used a 105mm Macro lens and 3 flashguns.
I also used a 10 metre cable and sat in my van trying to catch it as it came to the nesthole.
I do quite a bit of this sort of thing but found the Redstart very difficult indeed as they enter the nesthole without slowing down....well, it seemed so anyway. |

I'd love to have a go at something like this, I can't justify the 3 flashes though. I lost the discussion on getting one for this weekend  . Maybe one day I'll be lucky to try. | | |
