SOC - Restless Flycatcher hovering

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

I was fortunate enough to hear this Restless Flycatcher's call (which sounds like a really wet bout of flatulence and I have attached the mp3). I noticed it occasionally hopping off the wire fence and hover above the ground looking for insects. This guys was relatively easy to squat-walk up to and I did, fortunately managing to capture a hover in perfect motion. I am bit disappointed about the wire fence so OOF still visible, but I think it is fixable. The action for me is superb, probably my best wingspread to date.

And here is the juicy, flatulent call. :D

Wow Akos!
This looks like a swallow for me! there is a sp around my house that looks just like this one. I agree about the wire but sometimes there's no option. Love those spread feathers.

Very nice capture Akos,
I like the spread open down stroke on the wings, the details are sharp and the color rendition is good...My suggestion would be to crop into a pano...good show...:cool:
