These guys were nesting near by, when this one took a break from the construction work for a quick stretch. Probably the Foreman.

Lesser striped Swallow (hope that is right?

great stretch/pose, would crop a bit off the top or try a horizontal.

cheers, Dennis

Something I feel I could do with Steve - a good stretch - but all my joints would pop out now

Often overlooked birds on wires can make some great images, and this is no exception and the editorial style comp works well too.
