User's notes

This Golden Tigertail was patrolling up and down the river at about the level of the tops of the reeds. I tried some in flight shots but its body was facing upstream and away from me. Eventually it landed on a reed not far from where I was so I was able to get a photograph.

Nice one. And, yes, that sounds exactly like the way they behave.
