Swift by name
Not an easy bird to track in flight and focus on by any means. Found the only way I had any chance - with their speed and jinxing flight pattern - was to try and lock on some way off and follow them in.
The fastest accurately measured bird in the world under its own power (Peregrines are faster in a stoop but not in level flight).
I like the way the feet seem to fold into the body to improve its aerodynamics.
Taken in Norfolk.
