    Amazing images, I know how fast these can move. Looking at the EXIF I'm surprised how low you've kept the ISO. Did you have really good light or did you do a lot of work in post processing?

    I can barely track them with my eyes as they’re so fast, congrats on doing it with a camera

    Thanks and yes, always good light. I always shoot with the sun at my back and move around to suit. Really with Swallows it's all about location and these are all over a small pond, so it becomes easier. I do like my low ISOs for sure and keep an eye on shutter speed. Always work in full manual for these and lock aperture and ISO, simply adjust the shutter speed to suit.

    All the best and have a good one.

    Your swallows and kingfisher shots are classic.
    But I also liked the sparrows that you posted early on. How about posting a couple of sparrow photos, if you still have them ?
