Clutching at straws (Welcome Swallow)
Welcome Swallow (Hirundo neoxena)

Gorgeous day in Melbourne today with lots of sunshine and a cool foggy start. This Swallow was continuously hawking for insects and then returning to this perch so was able to take some great flight shots due to the predictable behaviour. Sun was a bit high for flight stuff at the time I took this shot but still turned out OK I think. Decided on a vertical crop for this one, let me know what you think.
All comments welcome Paul
