Thank you @steveh, I am always disappointed that I can't get the detail and all of the wings in, never satisfied!

Hi
( hope this is helpful ,you might know this already , if i am telling you how to suck eggs really sorry )
Not sure what camera your using Lesley but your F stop controls the DOF which will send the wings out of focus, your shot was f2.8 looking at the EXIF below the photo details this is a very shallow depth of fielld, try settings over F4 up to f8 you will probably get more detail in the wings and tail .... hope that helps

Well done for catching him. I am taking note of Steve's tip. Saw some lovely ones yesterday but could not begin to capture them. Lovely close- up.
