Thanks Ednaz

If film was the only option I reckon id'e go through a few rolls too. Expensive lol.  Lucky for me I didn't get into BIF with film lol but might of thought I was a fool for trying to capture them with 210mm reach in flight.
being foolish can pay off

Bee eaters are insanely unique birds. Spent almost a week back in 1999 (film days) shooting in a national park in Sri Lanka to get four or five shots of them that I loved and that I could sell. Probably 20 rolls of 36 exposures film. Maybe more, I should look at my journal, but I remember going to bed every night thinking that I was the definition of a fool for trying to catch great shots of these speedy birds.

Nice work. You should be hugely proud.
