Swallow Feeding Young
I spent half an hour or so watching young Swallows being fed by their parents on farmland in the White Peak of Derbyshire on Sunday. They were lined up on a barbed wire fence as the parents hawked for insects low over a field, dodging in and out of the grazing sheep. Every so often, one of the youngsters would frantically flap its wings and an adult would swoop in, pass a meal of flies from beak to beak and quickly resume hawking. I managed to get a few decent images amongst lots of rubbish using a high shutter speed and medium aperture.
