Mark III, 800mm, ISO 400, f/14, 1/400th, natural light

This is one from last summer. I liked the interact amongst the three of them, with the two bickering and the one on the left of the frame observing.

I will comment on other images later today. :smile:

Comments always appreciated.

Peter, I like how the bird on the left just seems to be staying out of the rukus. Very nice trio!

Pter, I love the greens in the background and how well the swallows and the branch they are perched on stand out. I also very much enjoy the three different positions of the birds. Lovely light, sharpness and details.

Love the variety of poses and the crispness throughout the subjects Peter. Also a fine bg. Congrats on the EP on this. Very well deserved.
