Another great flight capture Howard. And another zippy tune as well. The detail and exposure control are super.

Absolutely fantastic colours; the lemony yellow looks marvellous against the dark red. The colours on the critter's body are also beautiful. Nice details too, and the proboscis is like calligraphic whirl. Excellent work!
