Not the most suitable for the job being that big a lens and having to hand hold it, but it did the job. I actually did not use a flash on purpose because they are kind of skittish around someone just holding the feeder and the flash would have sent them flying off in another direction @peter I was using my Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR lens.

I stumbled across one of their nests one day. They can make their tiny nests in the smallest of things. They are tough to photograph without a feeder. You can try and stake out a flower or two but that's like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. What lens did you use on it. A 100 mm macro with fill-flash on High Sych enabled?
