Dirty job but has to be done

Cliff Swallows collect mud for nest building. By far, this is the most challenging bird photography I have ever done. And when I think I did that many years ago with a point & shoot too slow to capture anything sharp. You can watch a video on ''Cliff Swallow collecting mud'' and you will understand why. This is a full two days of observing and capturing them with so many challenges with the light, the position of the puddle, the traffic (pedestrian and cars), etc....
