Super interaction. Great natural history behavioural shot. Perhaps consider cloning out the two intruding twigs on right edge?

Awesome shot Phillip. Agree with Jeremys nits about the twigs but overall very impressive and incredible detail. :eek:

Lovely shot Phillip, nice lighting effects on the adults head and super detail - but get the clone tool out :toast: :toast:

Phillip,

I bet this shot took some patience. Super shot. :toast: :toast:

I like the way the two outer juvs are watching the action.

Hi Phillip,
Cracking shot and perfect timing , where abouts at Bempton did you take this??? , I was there on saturday and only saw a couple of swallows in flight.

Kind regards

Great action shot - love the expression of the youngster on the left - looks really p****d off!

That is a really stunning image Phillip. A bit of cloning on the rhs would obviously make it even better but you really have caught 'the moment.'
