I wish the shutter speed were faster, focus were better, and, most of all, the lens had a longer focal length :o
S5; 200-400 VR with 1.4 = 550mm on tripod; f8 1/640 sec; ISO 400.
The swallows and the nest box were quite far away from where I was. For this final image, I cropped some of the dead space out. The background is busy, too, and so I blurred it to keep the focus on the birds and the nest box.
I personally like the interaction between the birds, which happened to be one male and one female.
C&C welcome !!

Agree with you Desmond !!! Do like the interaction As presented might take a little form the right but do like the selected crop.
Going even tighter for bigger in frame birds would deteriorate the image and it is a pleasing composition since you can see what the fuzz is about !!!!! You should be able to get really close to these guys, once they are used to your presence they tend to ignore you !!!
Get Out of Here !!
