Description
One more of about 10 shots I took before I noticed that their behavior had changed and they were starting to buzzzz past me quite loudly. I took that as a warning and slowly backed off. LOL
I know this was a little crazy but I couldn't resist. :-) The closest I got was about 4 feet and I used my zoom on my Pentax Optio MX4.
Thank you all so much for your comments on my last bzzzzzz picture and I hope you enjoy seeing these little buggers up close and personal. ;-)
((((hugs)))) and have a great Thursday!

Passes Mags sis some caffeine... and this is again awwesome. You are surely braver than I... But it was well worth the risk of peeking in and taking that shot... Excellent!!!!!
Hands Maggie her medal for bravery and says - oh my goodness what a shot! Well done indeed!
Beautiful texture and colours on that nest. Don't get any closer!
What makes it for me here is the compo! Now, I have to say that once again, I don't like the frame! But it's just a matter of taste as ya know! ;)
Oh, you say it yourself now that this is risky... Very creative frame but indeed something is not going well... Bzzzzz and hugzzzzz ! :~)
