For insect photography I often find early mornings is a good time to get shots, particularly if there's been some rain overnight, or a heavy dew. Dragonflies for instance will often tend to sit still longer and allow you to approch them a bit closer. Same tends to happen with butterflies.

I don't have a good enough camera and lens to get good bird shots, 'coz I can't approach them close enough to fill the frame. That's when a bit of cheating can work by visiting places such as a botanical gardens, 'coz the birds there are often far more used to humans and will let you get up nice and close.
