    Spent last weekend capturing Barn Swallows feeding their young. Ended up with several keepers.

    Hi Kurt, I can't believe this has not received any comments to date, great BIF. I think I prefer the next frame and would love to see this bigger to maximise this behaviour. I can't help wonder what it would look like if the wing wasn't touching the bird ie a frame or two before this, although it does add a linkage. Great perch.

    Great shot. I really like the lines created by the birds. I like the open mouth and the perch is lovely. Nice to see the eyes so clearly. My only nit is the blurred wing tip behind the baby's back. If this was mine I would clone it out.
