I used the Nikon D500 with the Nikkor 80-400 lens, I was standing on a statue pedestal to get some height, since I'm short. It was hot that day, and I would head for a shady spot to take breaks.

Shooting info. f/5.6 exp. time 1/3200 sec. ISO 1600 focal distance 400mm. Spot metering.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Super shot Sandi. You got those whirring wings almost without blur. Must have been a very high shutter speed I guess.

Landing gear is down during this refueling process Tigz.

What a super capture. The near eye level POV is fabulous.
Glad you were persistent.

Exceptional details Sandi - I can even see her claws and I know how tiny those must be!

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Join me in all the above comments, Sandi, simply because it's a super capture. Perfect 'settings', not only on your camera but you standing on a statue pedestal as well, 😜 !
Your effort and photographic skills paid off very well!

I figure you used a very high shutter speed on this great capture! Good job.
