All stunning images, top quality for sure. I find that July & August get a little quiet for birds but still get out regardless.

What a great series. How do you get them to perch like this?

Thanks Paul. I am going to try getting out there as much as I can, but I am guessing if it is like last year I will be photographing Dragonflies and Butterflies more than I am photographing birds.

Thanks Dinusaur. A lot of patience. Birds go where they want to go so you have to wait for them to want to go to the same place you want them to go. A little luck can sometimes help too.
