Military tactical vehicles prepare to engage their target during Exercise Swift Response. The exercise is one of the premier military crisis response training events for multi-national airborne forces in the world. The exercise is designed to enhance the readiness of the combat core of the U.S. Global Response Force-currently the 82nd Airborne Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team-to conduct rapid-response, joint-forcible entry and follow-on operations alongside Allied high-readiness forces in Europe. Swift Response 16 includes more than 5,000 Soldiers and Airmen from Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britian, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain and the United States and takes place in Poland and Germany, May 27-June 26, 2016.

I took this Swift at Upton warren Nature reserve.
I am not completely happy with this shot, although it's the best out of a large collection of out of focus, and completely missed frames of just water!
These birds are very very fast and manuverable.
On the day I took this it was dark and raining.
I will go back and have another go on a brighter day. Hopefully with lower ISO, and a bit more experience of how to shoot these fast little birds!

Swift Parrots are endangered. There are estimated to be only about a thousand breeding pairs left in the wild.
This one was part of a group of twenty or thirty that have stopped for a couple of weeks in Canberra on their way back to their summer breeding grounds in Tasmania.
Not a great shot but it's my first shot of the Swift's this year but all the wishing in the world couldn't bring them closer In.

Captain Swift was a former sea captain, who moved to Princeton, Illinois, sometime prior to 1841. His 18 year old daughter Mary, died here that year. Captain Swift died in 1862. A local covered bridge bears his name, as he once owned land nearby.
Captain Swift and his family are buried in Oakland Cemetery, Princeton, Illinois.
Een reclame die betere tijden heeft gekend in de Pastoriestraat in Hengelo. Dat geldt ook voor naamgever Swift Schoenen. Deze firma bestond tussen 1931 en 1981 en stond aan de Muntweg in Nijmegen. In het midden van de jaren zestig werkten er zo’n 800 mensen die jaarlijks 1.000.000 paar schoenen produceerden; Swift was daarmee een van de grootste schoenenfabrieken in de Benelux en een van de grootste werkgevers in Nijmegen. In 1968 werd het verlieslijdende en eveneens Nijmeegse Robinson Schoenen overgenomen. Desondanks ging het nadien snel bergafwaarts en in januari 1981 ging Swift failliet.

Taylor Swift she thinks is the world already weary? The singer herself holds the quite possible and is thinking about taking a break after.
Pop-star Taylor Swift (25) has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years and is currently almost everywhere. Maybe the hype is a bit too much of a good thing,...

The latest in my efforts to get a picture of the swifts which fly round and round the block of gardens behind our house during the summer (in the winter they go to South Africa). They're so small and so fast and agile it's nearly impossible to keep them in the viewfinder and in focus - and of course they do their best flying at dusk...
Another beautiful Australian native parrot.
Swift Parrot, Lathamus discolor
The swift parrot is a threatened species, largely due to the loss of its habitat.
The swift parrot occurs in south-eastern Australia. It is a migratory bird which only breeds in Tasmania and over winters on mainland Australia. The breeding range is largely restricted to the east of Tasmania within the range of the blue gum Eucalyptus globulus.
Swift parrots are commonly observed in the Hobart area feeding on flowers of introduced eucalypts, particularly pink flowering gum.The swift parrot is 23-25 cm long, bigger than a budgie but smaller than a rosella. Streamlined, for rapid flight, it is green with red on the throat, chin and forehead. It also has red patches on its shoulders and under the wings. It has a blue crown and cheeks, blue on its wings and a long pointed tail. It can be readily identified in flight by its bright red underwing patches.
Its call is a 'kik-kik-kik'.
The swift parrot usually arrives in Tasmania in August. Nest sites in eastern Tasmania are usually located near the coast in dry forests on upper slopes and ridge tops. They make their nests inside a hollow tree branch or trunk in very old or dead trees, which can take hundreds of years to form.
It is not unusual to find more than one pair nesting close to each other. Nest sites may be re-used but not necessarily in successive years. The use of a particular nest site depends on the availability of food in that area.
After the breeding season, in February and March, the entire population flies north, dispersing throughout Victoria and NSW.
The Swift Parrot migrates to the mainland every autumn to winter mostly in the nectar-rich box-ironbark forests and woodlands of Victoria and New South Wales.Like other migratory species, swift parrots form into flocks prior to migrating. Some of these can be quite large consisting of up to 500 birds. It appears they break up into small flocks of 10-20 birds to cross Bass Strait during the day.
Because of clearing of more than 85% of these preferred wintering habitats, and continuing clearing of 500-1000 ha of its breeding habitat for commercial woodchipping every year, the breeding population of the Swift Parrot has declined markedly in the last decade.
It now consists of fewer than 1300 breeding pairs and is thought to be decreasing by more than 1% every year.
