World Bird Wednesday: Welcome Swallow

These little birds don't like humans much, so I was pretty happy with these shots taken at my new neighbourhood parklands... not even a 1km walk from home.


Entering the above shot in SHOOT EDIT SUBMIT



Enough shots already! I'm out of here...

The next few images were taken at Redcliffe beach during sunset. They aren't too great as far as clarity, light, etc but I had to include them... I can almost imagine a dialogue between these swallows...

    A great series of photos. It's hard to find those little birds sitting still - and in reach of the camera lens - anytime!

    I love your Welcome Swallows Liz! What a great name for a swallow. They remind me of our Barn Swallow but I love all swallows and could watch them fly all day long. You got some really great shots of these beauties!
