Barn Swallow
The Barn Swallow project continues... This one was close at any rate. I've been trying to get pictures of them skimming the water surface for insects limited success. This might be the last post for a few days as we're heading north to Dalarna today. Back on Tuesday evening. Not principally a...- Macswede

Bearded Swallow
Just a bit of fun. I couldn't resist taking a few shots of this Barn Swallow delivering a feather to the nest. This one's my favourite.- Macswede

Barn Swallow
Almost all the Barn Swallow flight shots I take get binned. Either they're too far away or blurred. And of the ones I keep very few are worth posting.- Macswede

Barn Swallow with nest material
I thought that, as there was a Barn Swallow in the frame last time, it might be nice to post a picture of a Barn Swallow today. They're building a nest under one of the jetties. Most of the time they have a mixture of mud and straw in their bills when they return. This is an ongoing...- Macswede

Osprey and buddy
I took an awful lot of pictures of this Osprey and in quite a few there are Barn Swallows. In some of them it's apparent that the birds are aware of each other. I'll probably post more of these.- Macswede

Common Buzzard and Barn Swallow
I was photographing the Barn Swallows when the Common Buzzard showed up. The Swallows were mobbing it but I only got one sharp picture with both species in the frame. I'm posting my pictures on Sunday this week as I had the AGM of the Caledonian Society in Stockholm then a blues concert at the...- Macswede

One Swallow...
Hot and sunny and, despite the like of rain, there were a lot of mosquitoes around this weekend so I got bitten. We were visiting friends and I heard a lot more birds than I saw so not many pictures. We went to Hjlstaviken on Sweden's National Day holiday Wednesday though and I took an awful...- Macswede

Swallow fly-past
Suddenly photographing Swallows felt not just possible but almost easy. I hope I get to experience that feeling again some time.- Macswede

There as another but it was a little too far away to get both in the same frame. :-) They were as tolerant as the Arctic Tern.- Macswede

Vapour trails?
Not the best of pictures technically but this is not something I've seen previously. These "vapour trails" or whatever they are were present through the entire series. All suggestions welcome!- Macswede
