I wear mostly brown and green and don't make sudden movements and they ignore me. Sometimes they fly quite close to make an inspection but I have never captured them that way - I need them to be hovering to feed if I'm going to catch them in focus.

The content beats format considerations. How close can you get to them? Douglas
