Never "no wind" here either.
The branches and stems are always moving;
as are the critters attracted to them.

I've actually considered constructing "wind shields."
Though thought it just "one more thing too much" to consider;
along with the light, the focus, the depth of field, ISO
and shutter speed enough to "stop" the movement of:
the critter
the plants
the camera.

It does seem to come down to luck
and a "decisive moment"
when it all comes together;
eye sees it;
in focus;
minimal movement (never none);
shutter pressed.

thanks for looking and commenting Douglas
