Incoming of the Swallow Folks, I think this one should have been the first in the series, mad a mistake and you bwill see why tomorrow.
Swallow Falls is the highest continuous waterfall in Wales. The falls are set on the River Llugwy two miles west of Betws-y-Coed along the A5 to Capel Curig, in the beautiful Gwydir Forest.
Species: Hirundo rustica.
Swallows are small birds with dark, glossy-blue backs, red throats, pale underparts and long tail streamers. They are extremely agile in flight and spend most of their time on the wing. They are widespread breeding birds in the Northern Hemisphere, migrating south in winter. Info: RSPB.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.

A barbed Barn Swallow photographed today at the lake at Berrington hall near Leominster, Herefordshire, England
My final test was with the 300f4/OM1 combo shooting swallows. I was taken aback when I was able to capture many great flight shots of the speedy birdie through the EVF. O normally use a dot sight for BIF. The Bird Detection of the white rectangles certainly help locate where the bird is flying.
Next I need to upgrade to FW 1.2 to get consistent AF from OM1. All in All I am very please at how this cam performed for birding
A big thank you to all Flickr friends for your visits.

All my posts so far since lockdown have been from the garden. This swallow is last year on this date so I must go and check if they have arrived...it's only a bike ride away.
I photographed this Swallow Tanager (Tersina viridis) at the Hotel Campestre Resguardos de Paz, near El Paujil, CaquetĆ”, Colombia, in February 2020. It has a broad, flat bill, a short tail and short legs. Males are bright turquoise-blue with a black mask, while females are mostly grass-green. It eats fruit and insects, and it often snaps up more than one flying ant or termite from a swarm in a single flight. It nests in cavities, such as holes in earthen banks, stone walls or the walls of abandoned buildings. IUCN lists it as Least Concern.
I made this frame with a Pentax K-1 and the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6, at 1/500 sec, f/5.6, ISO 6400. It occurs in many protected areas, and it appears to do well in partly disturbed places.

Tiny feathers that swallows gather to place inside one of the tree swallow birdhouses. Superb engineering for each nest. My husband empties each birdhouse after swallows depart and head south. We have three inner birdhouse masterpieces now.
Limping a bit using a walker doesnāt allow for great photography or *any* photos. Broke a femur in left hip about four months ago. Clumsy fall over a cordā¦but a clean break, I think.
Hope to see you soon!
A Swallow thats nesting in my barn down garden. I stood on my balcony for this shot to be at their level.

This is the last of the Swallow-tailed Kite photos this year. What a fun exercise it was to photograph these majestic flyers.
Thanks for visiting!

Out on a hike photographing wildflowers with my macro lens and this happened overhead...I took the shot with the 100mm macro so it's cropped in a lot!
At the Caravan site where I am staying ,this pair of swallows are nesting in the foyer of the rest-rooms.
When they are being cleaned they wait patiently outside sitting on the hand rails,oblivious to people walking past.
Im pleased to say they now have four little hatchlings in the nest.
Taken in Cornwall.
A large group of Tree Swallows were obviously feeding on bugs by the way they were swooping around, although the bugs were too tiny for my eyes to see. I spent a few minutes trying to get some images and in retrospect wish I would have spent my entire morning there, as I found little else on my wandering. Tree Swallows are pretty little speedsters. My bird book states that they arrive in Florida in August and linger through May. (Tachycineta bicolor) (Sony a1ii, 200-600 lens @600mm, 1/3200, f/6.3, ISO 1600)
The swallows nested in my yard in 2022 and for several years before that. Many swallows died last year when we had a cold spell that killed all the insects. Hopefully they will return to nest this year. Taken in my back yard in Calgary, Alberta.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
