These two swallows were flying around, one chasing the other. They'd come together, then one would break off and the other would chase. Not sharp - shutter speed too slow, but I wasn't set up for flight at the time. But, I like the abstract motion look to it, so posting anyway.
It was one of those magic mornings on the wetlands I set to explore: a hunting Great Egret, Shelducks chasing each other, Cape Barren Geese in abundance... but I could not take my eyes off the Welcome Swallows dancing their crazy choreographed ballets just above the water.

They are dying one after another.
I saw one of the insect that can be seen on the left on a dead one. Mostly are already fledged but in the evening they return in the nests with the parents and sleep there on nearby the nests. I will try to spray an antiparasite product in the nests when they are away.
Swallow Tanager is an unusual species and the only member of its genus. (It was formerly placed in a family of its own.) It is unique among tanagers in the behaviour of sometimes digging a nesting hole in a bank. It is primarily frugivorous but will also sweep out (swallow-like) after insects. This is a male with a black mask and mainly blue plumage with white breast. It was seen near the town of Minca in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia, South America.

Barn Swallow got all its nest-building material in one beak-full - sticks, pine needles, and good pasty mud. Check it "Large".

While searching for some photos I came across this Barn Swallow from this past June and it got me excited about them showing up again soon from their winter absence. Can’t wait to spend some time trying to catch them again this coming spring.

The head is also green but much like the throat feathers of a hummingbird, light needs to hit it just right. Garden flowers and barn in the background. Nikon D500 at 380mm, f/5.6
Whilst surveying kittiwake in the north-east I stayed in Redcar very close to where the greater sand plover has been recently found. After a day of surveys I went for a walk along the beach and spotted five juvenile swallows on the sea defences whilst a couple of adult birds whizzed around catching flies
Another visit to the Wetlands with long time friend and fellow flickr tog Joe Micallef.
We had sprinkling rain and overcast conditions which was ideal for light - there were a couple of Welcome Swallows that perched nicely and allowed us to get a few close up portraits - hope you like this one!
