How do you get such shots of fast birds - I have still to learn this! Wonder how many insects of this size they need a day! No wonder they never stop! Well taken.
 
Watching this, my mouth is gaping wider than the swift's catching insects!!! ;) Great special flight-shot, Ari!!! :t: :t: :loveme:
 
A fantastic photo of the swift capturing food. We all know how hard they are to photograph flying. Very well done!
Rookery.
