The 100-400L. Not the best lens for these types of shots but it is all I have. For now... :cool:

Very difficult bird to capture on the wing.

Well done.

Brilliant shots all three. Very fast birds and hard to capture. The third photo is totally brilliant, well done.

Using the 100-400 ! it is really amazing to me that you got the bird in so close! Wow.
I could not keep the birds focused at all close in.
I shot my swallow at 400mm --maybe a shorter focal length would have helped me.
