    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.

    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!

    I think this is pretty awesome for a non digital image.
    Great interaction shown.
