SWALLOW

Third day of our Sicily holiday.
I had a very hard time trying to capture a couple of swallows that flew around the Resort as we came out of the breakfast room. These birds are so fast and erratic in their flight. When you think you have them in focus they make a u-turn and you have to start all over again. In the end I got this shot as this swallow was flying over an olive tree. Posted completely sooc.
Thank you so much for looking and for the comments and fav’s on yesterday’s picture.

They dart and dive so fast - well done through the tree!

Great effort Dione. I find birds on the wing impossible.

Wonderful sense of movement in this shot! It is so frustrating trying to get photos of these birds...even when they're feeding their babies they move around so quickly. :-)
