I hope you enjoy what I saw on the banks of the Nile today. notice how these skimmers blend in with their surroundings like most of the wildlife they are masters of disguise. each one is different look carefully you will see they have different types of bodies
.
,these are some of the smallest of the skimmers
.No rushing or I miss what I want to photo enlarge this one if you can not see it.
some have to move before I can see them then getting the lens adjusted is another problem,
with my 100x400 lens I have no need to change lens only thing is I have to be at least 1and 1/2 meters from the subject any nearer its blurred.

Terrific shots Tony!! Love those of the hovering bee. Most of the dragons are the same as we have here and that one is reeally hard to spot as it blends in beautifully.
Nice shot and all of these pictures are so beautiful.
