HOW SWIFT IS A SWIFT

Those I saw were extremely fast. With my camera speed at 1/2000 I couldn’t get a shot better than this one. Besides they were flying high up in the sky. I was very happy to see them. After all, my walk was intended to take some bird shots.
The shot was taken some weeks ago during my Gargħur to Naxxar walk along the Victoria Lines. I decided there and then that I would try again in the near future before they disappear.
Thank you so much for your visits, for your comments and for your fav's.

Think this is a house martin with a white rump?

@g3xbm the Common Swift and the House Martin look very much the same. I still think this is a Common Swift but I'm not an expert on biirds.

The simplicity of the image really appeals to me. Somehow the negative space gives me a sense of distance and therefore speed too! Fav.
