On my short list of fairly bad photos I'm tempted to share is one of a barn swallow zooming near the ground with his mouth open to scoop up an insect just a few inches ahead.

A nicely detailed flight image of this Barn Swallow and captured beautifully.

A very nice image you have presented.

Know that today, 6 May 2021, it joined the other illustrative images present in the Barn Swallow article in Opus.

Your generous sharing of your work is most certainly appreciated.

Thank You!
