House Martins. They were too far away for anything good, plus I only had my 300mm with me, but then saw the shot on the computer screen and thought it was rather cool.
Huge crop, hence 1280px and not 1600px on the long end.

That Swallow is particularly good. They are so difficult to capture crisply.

I am especially captivated by your first photo of the barn swallow. They are truly uncooperative when it come to getting an in flight shot. Very nice work!!

OOps...my bad...sorry. I thought it was a red tail (Buteo jamaicensis) . I see red-tailed hawks daily over here. They look so much like your European Buzzard.

No worries mike they are similar in some respects, I see far more buzzards that red tails - on one occasion there was about six buzzards flying around high up together, it was quite a sight.

How was your day - A bit on the gull side.

Thank you all very much for the kind words.

By the way, a House Martin is part of the swallow family too. Their names in Dutch reflect that nicely as they're called Boerenzwaluw and Huiszwaluw resp. Just thought I'd mention it.
