How on earth did you manage to get the shots of them in flight!? I can barely keep up with them when I'm trying to see where they've landed, let alone get some awesome shots of the fellas in flight. Very nice.

I'll have to get some more practice in this year. The Olympus 60mm Macro was one of the reasons I got myself a M43 camera (although the first shot below was taken with the Olympus 75-300).

Just like a rifle, you need practise and have fast reaction with ability to put your sight right on the target. Iv'e only been shooting flight with a camera for 7-8 months or so but my other hobbies probably gave me the experience. Comes naturaly to me but was difficult at first because the way a camera is held.
