Barn is right. The third one is especially good. These are tough at the best of times but you've done it Keith.

Good catches Keith and they certainly are fast. I tried capturing some in flight tree swallows at Kortright Centre and it was nearly impossible to get a BIF shot.

Thanks Don, I know what you mean by fast I'm surprised i got any keepers from the set.
