    I was playing around trying to get an action photo of these swallows flying over water catching insects. After many attempts I managed to get this one.

    Ahhh, that's the spot

    A couple of Welcome Swallows were kind enough to let me snap them as they sunbathed on a line mooring a fishing boat at Lakes Entrance in Victoria.

    Well the Welcome Swallow are reasonable common in Australia. Often I've pointed my camera at them to record the obligatory blur. This is the closest I've got to one in flight (looking for a drink over a local pond).

    'The Look'...

    Hi all, went looking for the Black Swan family at Caroline Springs just to get an update, I was disappointed as they had retired to the island in the centre of the lake! But as Pete and I were looking around this little fellow came and sat on a rock just near the walkway! Managed to get some...

    'It's cold!'...

    When I went to see if I could find the parrots today this little fellow was coming near the car to keep out of the wind and I managed a couple of shots before it took off again! The weather has not been very kindly towards our feathered friends and they all looked sorry for themselves as this is...

    'Fast flyer!!!'

    I had been trying to get another flight shot of these fast flying birds, so I went down the creek and waited for one to come over the fence into my view, after several attempts I got this one but missed it in the downloads, so here it is to share with you all, hope you like it!!

    'Watch out!!'

    I took this when the first swallows came to our place this year. They were everywhere and sitting on my aerial, this one was trying to find a safe spot to land, with landing gear down!

    'Good Morning!'

    Doing my rounds in the morning of the creek this little fellow was preening itself and stayed long enough for me to get a bit closer. When they arrived here for the first time this year in March they were all over the house but now stay in the back paddocks and swoop and dive all over the place...
