The picture is of one on Corks Road that covered 13 frames.

If they are flying through the air, you can try to make them land by banging a pot with a hammer, or something like that. The clanging noise apparently simulates thunder, and they land because of it. I don't know whether it actually works, having never done it myself - it may just be an old wives' fable. But worth a try, nevertheless!
