I watched this fellow trying to land on some flower stems, but it was so windy, he couldn't catch hold. It took refuge on the top line of a cattle panel.

Thank you Luci and Linda.

I watched for quite a while before he finally
landed on something that wasn't moving.

Thank you Mary, James and Nick.

Oh, sorry, never occurred to me to explain
that. Cattle panels are wire panels that
may be purchased in varying lengths and a
few different heights.

Ours are 16 feet long by about 52 inches high.
They are nine wires high and each "square" is
about 6 inches. I think they are also known as
stock panels.

Julia - I like the contrast between her delicacy and the iron of the "helipad." What beautiful wing veins. Worth the wait.
