Sylphs photos collection (page 37)
Photo by Dan from Baligifter.org (May 2009)
I was looking at the attached Sylph at sunrise earlier.
At the time I saw him; he was only partly visible above the roof and trees on the perimeter of my garden.
I thought that this was such a shame as I couldn't get a photograph of more that the near edge of him so I 'said' (in my mind): "If you were a little closer I'd take a picture of you".
Right away he started to move closer until he was easily visible (so I got my camera and managed to take this shot in the early morning light).
This is very unusual behaviour from a Sylph as they don't generally move much after taking up position.
After the 'photo opportunity' he didn't move again.
