Amazing captures. Swallows must be the most difficult birds to capture because they move so fast but you managed it.

Ditto-- Swallows are the holy grail of birding. Fast and erratic. Two fantastic BIF images...

Nice shots - where did you find those birds? I only see the barn swallows around me.

Thank you Susan.
I could not shoot this in AF so, I had focused on a fied point and took the shot as the birds passed it in manual mode.
It was not easy.

There are a lot in Irvine water district.
They will be there for the whole month I think.
