A bird I have struggled with for quite a while to get a decent shot of.

I'ld be very happy with a "decent" shot like this Ian. You are too critical ;)

Nice shot. We seem to be overrun with Tree Swallows at the moment, with a few Barn thrown in. Not that I'm complaining. They eat the mosquito's, and I've already been bitten half a dozen times. Need more of them!
