I don't think they'll win me a wildlife photographer of the year award and
the bokeh in some will be a contentious issue,
Several to like. I like the first couple of hovering shots. I've not tried
that, but now plan to.
One thing you may know is that, like some flutterbys and hummingbirds, they tend to find a perch they like and return to

Gear? Most of mine have been with PLeica 100-400 on E-M5 II or GX9, but I recently got a good one with my new Panny
ZS200 Travel/compact camera. It's the first one in my little dragonfly gallery.
