    That's a great shot! Beautiful swallow. Love the color on the head and the white bib. BG, HA against the wing, and perch are great too. Head is sharp. Nice Work.

    Hi Nico, love the symmetrical wingspread, and well timed. I like the HA, soft light, and that perch looks familiar.

    An excellent landing pose, great symmetrical wing angle.... Exposure is good and sharp where it counts... Light quality adds to the image too.
    Have not may it to Mankwe in ages... Hope you are keeping well Nico, need to get out to the vulture site at the Magalisberg again.
