It was a lousy day for shooting as I had to bump the ISO to 800 to keep shutter speed fast enough for handheld shooting this time, but I was amazed how great these turned out. Comments and sugestions welcomed.

Nice shots.

I like the detail in the last 2.

That is impressive to be able to get flight shots of such a fast and erratic flying bird.

Excellent fast capture of the swallows, managed to get them framed with good detail.
The last shot is my favourite with the spotted sandpiper, the composition is very, very good.

I love the composition of the last shot!
The swallow shots are amazing though. Those swallows move fast! Congrats on great captures!
