Superb shots Alby.

I did think about taking some pics, only momentarily lol. I came in and shut the doors instead :lol:

I quite expected to see the birds have a field day when they started to fly, but they didnt seem interested. There was only a flush of excitement from the Swifts. Dont birds particularly like them do you know?

Haha I think indoors was possible the best place Linda. Lots of swifts and seagulls having a good old feed here, looks like rain soon so it may well put a stop to it all.

Spiders? garden or Theraphosidae as I use to keep spiders a few years ago now.

Oh not keeping and breeding tarantulas then. I had about 600 tarantula babies to care for at one point, nearly drove me to despair :-)

Thanks Eccles, it's been really hot and sunny pretty much all day but have heard a fair bit of thunder in the distance.

#2 is very well exposed, tricky subject. There is a swarm in the road outside my house but it was too late to bother shooting.

Thanks RM, I'm sure I haven't seen the end of these just yet.

Good series - like #1 best - we had the invasion here too - I only tried a couple of shots then went inside - they make you feel so itchy (psychological I think!)
