Saw these in Germany last week. Tried some flightshots of these martins gathering mud for their nests.

I like this a lot, great 3D feel and wonderful that each bird is at differant stage of mud collection.
Loads for the eye to feast on.

Hi Paul

Ditto what Tim has said an interesting and pleasing image and not easy to get images that tell you a little about the bird!

Hi Paul

A great behavioural image and the positioning of the four birds is almost perfect and each of the flying birds is in a good but different wing position.

Well seen and captured, nice to see some good behavioural images getting posted on the forum.

A true 'wild'life shot. Loads of behavior and action. A great moment to capture. :toast: If you ever get the chance to go back it would be worth experimenting with fill-in or slow-sync flash. :cool:
