A few Very Very fast Swallows

I caught a few swallows flying over a local pond the other evening and i was amazed that i managed to capture any, hope you like.

You did great these birds do everything at high speed. They are near impossible to capture at times because they move so quickly.

Thanks for that, they were flying about at about a zillion miles an hour, o got lucky with that one the rest were just shadows.

Thank you for that, where i live there is a conservation area and the other day it was like an airshow but with birds, there must have been hundreds of swallows flying, dancing and chasing each other, a heron was flying around chasing a cormorant, the swans had given birth to babies and these were swimming around with the baby ducklings, and the new young fluffy grey headed gulls were pestering for food, i was tempted just to leave my lens man focused and just fire away into the sky to see what swallows i could catch.

Brill day out.

Well done.
