Fantastic picture of this perched Swallow! Excellent focus, dof, colors, feather detail, eye contact, pose, perch, and background. Always a pleasure to see your posts Doux!!!!
 
Love it, Doux! Ha ha, you are so right. Always in the air, and so difficult to catch in flight. This is a terrific image.

A lovely shot, Doux! Now and then they do sit to digest. Unfortunately, they usually perch way to high up. And swifts I can forget about even trying.
