Ancient Flycatcher

[John Robinson]

Spotted Flycatcher
Another that turned up doing a picture request search. I,m finding stuff I didn't know I had !!
Taken on Ecktachrome in 1975 Crikey !!
These used to nest in our shed every years and now they are getting to be a bit of a rarity. Amazing how the yound can handle wasps too ! Thats about all she and he fed them on.
Pentax spotmatic
Metz 402 - two heads. Would be a 50th @ about f16 or 22 I reckon. Tamron 70-210 ( Another Crikey !!)
Copied off slide with my DIY drainpipe and 40mm macro .

Cheers

That's amazing how far back this image was taken, I was born in December 1974 as a comparison! I think you did a great job considering you did not have digital to experiment "on the fly" with. Nice vertical composition and feeding postures on both the adult and young ones. You must be having a blast going through these files!

Thanks Daniel
I think I might prefer to be your age but am not too sure when I really think about it !
Thanks again
John
