I think the ospreys are feeling a bit jealous now that you've also started stalking the swallows #1 by far the best for me Kris.

Yep great lighting for these. #5 is magic with that eye detail and feathering. Nothing but the best of profiles that shot. #2, yeah that's the light that makes a great change, beautiful tones. The Swallow, well that's some head on shot, nicely stopped on the wings and head detail is bang on.

All the best Kris, fine shots as always.

Danny.

HO-LEE CRAP.

Haha. But seriously, depending on the day, your photos make me want to keep trying, or hang up my camera. I am in awe of your abilities with these birds.

Really great.. I'm dying to get some swallow shots. They seem to be flitting just out of my view finder..
