I cannot believe this coincidence, but I have just been trying to photograph one of these in the window box of my hotel balcony in Switzerland. I have not seen one before. They are very fast moving so I congratulate you on a great capture.

Thanks for sharing.

They are fast, we spent an hour or so trying without too much success to capture one in Majorca a couple of years back. Well done
