Swift found crash-landed in the garden yesterday - I assumed heat exhaustion but later saw another swift being chased by a hobby so who knows. Drip-fed water from a syringe and watched over it for just over an hour when it was able to relaunch itself. We have them nesting in our attic so it may just have got too hot up there.
A challenge to photograph - they are not called Swifts for nothing. This one, along with hundreds more, was patrolling over Bartley Reservoir in SW Birmingham UK - 02-06-23 #Springwatch
Early morning i found two baby swift. They are already fed, in 15-20 days they will be ready to fly.
L'indiscussa star ornitologica di quest'ultimo mese nei cieli italiani. Il rondone del pacifico [o codaforcuta] (apus pacificus) che soggiorna a sud di Bolzano non è proprio un soggetto facile da fotografare
The undisputed ornithological star of this past month in the Italian skies. The Pacific swift that sojourns south of Bolzano is not exactly an easy subject to photograph

Life and death are of supreme importance. Time swiftly passes by and opportunity is lost. Each of us should strive to awaken. Awaken! Take heed, do not squander your life.”

OKUNOIN is the largest cemetery in the country. Located on Mount Koya (高野山 Koya-san) in Wakayama Prefecture (和歌山県), that cemetery does not just contain an estimated 200,000 graves, but a site which is sacred to the Shingon School of Buddhism, being where the mausoleum of the sect’s founder, Kukai or Kobo-Daishi, is located and where he is said to lie in eternal meditation.
The cemetery, together with the mausoleum at the end of a 2 kilometre walk through the cemetery is in fact a pilgrimage site for Shingon Buddhism, one of the mainstream schools of Buddhism in Japan
The Swift is the most popular fly fishing destination in Massachusetts, with maybe the exception of the Deerfield: great scenery, many big fish, and it fishes well all year-round.
But, it is also the most technical fishery in Massachusetts, and it can be a real challenge to hook the super-picky rainbows. With some research, you can find out a lot about the river... (see below link).

Tracking a swift over the water is something I love to try. It eats batteries, makes the arm muscles burn and fills up memory cards with blurry shots really quickly.

So nice to see these return to our shores for their all too short breeding season. Unfortunately numbers are falling year on year but hopefully that trend can be reversed. Photography wise `I relish the challenge. At this time of year they only come low when the weather is horrid making it harder to get a decent shot. I got lucky as the bird faced what light I had.
A straight swift stopping over at the blue mistflower.
Parnara guttata (Straight swift or Common straight swift, ‘Ichimonji-seseri’ in Japanese) is a species of butterfly in the skipper family, native to Japan and eastern Asia. Conoclinium coelestinum (Mistflower, formerly Eupatorium coelestinum) is a perennial flowering plant in the aster family, native to North America.
The Hepialidae are a family of insects in the lepidopteran order. Moths of this family are often referred to as swift moths or ghost moths. The Hepialidae constitute by far the most diverse group of the infraorder Exoporia. The 60 genera contain at least 587 currently recognised species of these primitive moths worldwide. The family Hepialidae is considered to be very primitive, with a number of structural differences to other moths including very short antennae and the lack of a functional proboscis or frenulum. Hepialidae are distributed on ancient landmasses worldwide except Antarctica. 14720
A barn swallow seen on my company campus yesterday.
It was a humbling experience photographing the non-stop flying swallow over the water. This is the only lucky shot among lots of bad ones.
拍飛燕真不容易，這是唯一一張看得清楚的。昨天在公司拍到。

Following a period of self isolation and a negative Covid test, we were allowed out again yesterday. You don’t realise how much you miss the outdoors until you’re can’t go outside, even for a walk. The weather has turned a little warmer and the sun came out for a couple of hours. All kinds of shenanigans were going on behind the reeds at the far end of the pond. Lots of splashing and quacking noises as the drakes were chasing the lady ducks around. Hopefully in a few weeks we will once again witness new life as the duckings start to appear.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
This attractive looking male Orange Swift (Triodia sylvina) was resting on a piece of cardboard in the conservatory waiting for dusk. I couldn’t resist such opportunity. It turned out to be a patient and cooperative model. Bath, Somerset, England.
Lovely to nab a swift yesterday. Caught this one mid catch, the fly had no hope. The light was a bit iffy and I was struggling a little to get back in the flow having barely used my camera over the last few months.
Une des toutes rares photos que j'ai pu faire quand un martinet à ventre blanc est sorti de la niche en béton qu'il occupe dans l'émetteur tdf d'Oberhausbergen. Dès sa sortie il plonge dans le vide à toute vitesse et ça tient d'un petit exploit de pouvoir le saisir. Après en vol il est plus loin et pas beaucoup plus facile à saisir. Un sujet bien coriace pour les photographes !
The female Swift Fox (Vulpes fulva) sits at the entrance to the den while she watches the male head off on the prairie landscape to hunt for some food for her brood of youngsters. This den was located on the prairie landscape of southeastern Alberta, Canada.
