    Swallow Dive

    Ok, not a dive as such but we were trying to get shots of the swallows skimming over the water picking flies from the surface, at the Grau nature reserve today. I found it even more difficult that to nail dragonflies in flight as they were so unpredictable and so fast giving very little time to focus so I got.....0 shots....but Dee did better

    Well caught, I tried something similar earlier in the year but failed miserably - couldn't keep up with the little b*****s.

          I tried this and failed. I gave up. Good shot of a difficult subject.

            I tried it with a spitfire and failed so I'd have no hope with something as small as a swallow.
