It was a cold winter windy day, why not go to the beach and shot some swallows?

From my experience, these shots are almost super-human! Awesome tracking skills here and super shots, super, super shots! I'm with NC here-any secrets to share?
Thank you.

Thanks

They fly a lot slower when feeding on the water, especially on a really windy day

I remembered to take a quick video to show the swallows flying a lot slower than normal.
