    Default Cliff Swallow Home Improvement....

    From the same session as my previous Cliff Swallow shot. Mud on beak suggests this bird is building a nest....

    600mm f/4 IS II on EOS R5
    1/5000 at f/4.5, ISO 800
    Processed in LR CC and Topaz DN (light pass at '5' pts NR to combat heavy crop)

    Name:  cliff swallow green 051223.jpg

    I really like ethics one Dorian! Nice to see the swallow nest building with the mud in it's beak! Hard beggars to catch in flight and you managed nicely! Well done

    Lol Kurt, autocorrect can really mess things up eh!

    Loving this one a lot, as much as your previous one, and the mud on the bill adds a "story element" to the image. Excellent!
