Swallow - feed me!!!
Hi to all,

Juvenile Swallow about to be fed a Hover Fly, photographed at Spurn point this morning, I went in search of a Barred Warbler which chose not to show itself, so I spent an hour with the resident Swallows, this is one of the better shots from this mornings efforts, made a real mess of the exposure :redface: for some reason I under exposed 1/3rd instead of over exposing a stop, never mind :smile: thanks for looking.

Converted in DPP / Processed in CS2 ( Cropped )

Canon 1D3, 500F4IS+1.4T/c, Gitzo1325, Wimberley v2
1/5000th @ F5.6 -1/3rd E/comp iso400

All comments most welcome

Regards

Andy... :smile:

Nice Andy, probably the last to go then? Not seen many about here this last week? Always nice to see parents feeding their young.
