Wow, very nice. I gave up at my local nesting site, they were too quick for me. Very well done.

Superb captures - I love the in flight shots much more than the sat on a feeder one's

I've tried loads of times to catch martins and swallows in flight and failed miserably. Great shots.

It would be a rare sight indeed spotting Sand Martins on a feeder

Seriously, it must have taken some doing capturing these speedy little guys in flight, I like the drop wing silhouette on number 3 .

Thank you all for your comments. I wish I could get them on the feeders, save me waving my arms around for a couple of hours.

Nope. Not bad at all. Well captured little zippy fellas

 

[HappySnapper]

Beautiful shots, great timing, well done

considering the speed these things move at those are great catches ! a couple are a bit soft, but who cares, the ability to pan with these and get the bird in frame is pretty special

 

[DaiTheDragon]

Thank you very much.

As mentioned great captures Were you up at a higher than normal position? or were they down at your level?

[DaiTheDragon]

Thanks both. I was standing back a bit on top of the bank they were nesting in .
