Circling swifts.
A shorter focal length made them easier to track. (These are substantial crops, obviously).

I unexpectedly found myself with a free 90 minutes at Titchwell yesterday. As has been the case a lot in this dire spring the weather was grey, overcast, dull and cold.
Standing on the West Bank path I indulged in my annual attempt to try and get a passable picture of a Swift in flight.
My technique is to crank up the ISO setting to get a fast shutter speed, over expose, manual focus is probably better than aoutfocus with the 5D MK2, pick up the birds as they come towards you so that you can focus with them as they get closer and then fill up your memory card.
I think that I got some ok shots given the low light, but still not clinched a real professional properly exposed pin sharp image.
As ever I'd be interested in your feedback on these images and which if any work for you.

Local supporters of Swift Conservation www.swift-conservation.org/ worked with the local council to produce these leaflets which we tried to distribute to residents around the city in buildings where the birds nest.
The leaflets were produced on good quality stiff coated paper and had a Welsh version on the reverse.
We also produced a leaflet for House Martins, see www.flickr.com/photos/paul_seligman_cardiff/14871464316/

Swift Campout is a loosely organized (if at all) event, in a way, where people are encouraged to go on overnight bicycle camping trips. The first Swift Campout was organized by Swift Industries, a Seattle-based company that makes bags and accessories for bicycle touring, about 5 years ago as a means of self promotion (it seems) and to encourage group rides and exploration of parks and campgrounds within an easy ride.

Had my brief annual effort at photographing Swifts in fligt at an overcast Titchwell Marsh on Sunday. These are my 2 favourites.

San Roque, Cadiz, June 2009.
The main purpose of the trip to Spain was to see this species. Seven birds were at the 'traditional' site at Bolonia cave (together with 5 Little Swifts). A further 5 were found independently near San Roque on the coast NE of Tarifa.

This year’s TOMC (Train Of Many Colors) hosted by the NYCTM (New York City Transit Museum) swiftly submurges into the 122st & Broadway Portal in Harlem, NYC. The railcar line-up consists of an R28, R33, R33ML, R33WF, and last, an R36.
The visitor centre at Lackford is well equipped with swift nest boxes, and recordings of swift calls to encourage them. At least one box was occupied and birds visited from time to time, but at such a speed they were almost impossible to photograph.
