Fantastic pic! I've spent hours trying to get good swallow shots but with no luck at all!

go on a breezy day as they fly into the wind and it slows them a bit!!!

Hi Andy,

Fantastic capture! Awesome! I do remember a short while back you wanting to chuck the towel in on flight shots! Glad you stuck with it now!
