Juvenile Painted stork (external link)

He takes a dozen of wing flaps to land. An experienced adult may take one flap only to do so.

1-3, landing

As all of us bird shooters know, these swallow types are really difficult and frustrating targets to capture in flight. You did a terrific job shooting this sandmartin, havelock! Nice work.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Photos like this tempt me to buy a R3 or Z9 even when I haven't photographed birds in my country for over 7 years

Spectacular flight shot of the Pallid Swift, Vassilis! Tack sharp and so appealing.

Thank you ! I am very pleased with this one ...

Steve...this shot really grabs the eyes! The beautiful tack sharp yellow flowers with the equally sharp hummer feeding is so appealing.
